The vendors of the house we are hoping to buy hired a conveyancing firm in Seven Kings who has suggested a lock out contract with a payment two thousand pounds. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
This kind of arrangement is not the norm in Seven Kings, conveyancers are not keen on them as they divert attention from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up losing your deposit then the lawyer at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that just because the owner has signed an exclusivity contract they will sell to you. They may be in contravention of the contract if they receive a large enough incentive to do so because an aggrieved purchaser with the benefit of a exclusivity agreement will still be obliged show losses as a consequence of the breach and these may not equalise the financial upside that the owner may gain by breaking the agreement, no matter how morally condemnable that may be.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one near me in Seven Kings I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Seven Kings for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a home loan that many years will be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
