We have very assertive sellers who has recommended a lock out contract with a down payment 10k. Are such contracts the norm for Benllech conveyancing transactions?
Exclusivity contracts are agreements between a property vendor and purchaser giving the buyer a ‘clear field’ to purchase the property for a set period of time. Essentially, a lock out agreement is a contract stating that you will have a contract at a later time being the contract for the actual sale. It is generally used for buyer assurance though in many situations, the seller may enjoy an upside from such agreements as well. There are many positives and negatives to having an agreement but you need to check with your lawyer but note that it may result in costing you more in conveyancing fees. In light of this these agreements are not popular in relation to conveyancing in Benllech.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Benllech is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
