The owners of the house we are purchasing hired a conveyancing practitioner in Battlesbridge who has suggested a preliminary contract with a deposit 6,000. Are such agreements appropriate for Battlesbridge conveyancing transactions?
Lock out agreements are contracts between a home seller and prospective buyer giving the buyer the sole right to purchase the property within an agreed time frame. Essentially, a lock out is a document stating that you will have a contract at a later date which is the contract for the actual sale. It tends to be used for buyer assurance though in many situations, the seller may stand to benefit from such agreements as well. There are various pros and cons to having an agreement but you need to check with your conveyancer but beware that it may result in costing you more in conveyancing fees. In light of these reasons these agreements are not popular in relation to conveyancing in Battlesbridge.

How does conveyancing in Battlesbridge differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Battlesbridge contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because house builders in Battlesbridge typically purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Battlesbridge or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Battlesbridge I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Battlesbridge in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
