The owners have very pushy sellers who has insisted on a exclusivity contract with a non-refundable deposit 6,000. Are such arrangements promoted for Carshalton conveyancing transactions?
This form of contract isn't common in Carshalton, conveyancers are not keen on them as they divert attention from the primary focus, namely conveyancing and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the solicitor is left exposed. Secondly, there is no certainty that just because the proprietor has entered into an exclusivity contract they will complete the sale with you. They may be in contravention of the agreement if they receive sufficient offer to do so because a wronged claimant with the benefit of a lockoutcontract will still be duty bound to show losses as a consequence of the breach and this may not equate the financial upside that your vendor may obtain by breaching the contract, no matter how morally shameful it undoubtedly is.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Carshalton is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?

Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

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.
