The vendors of the property we are purchasing have appointed a conveyancing firm in Llanfairfechan who has suggested a exclusivity contract with a down payment 10k. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
This kind of contract is not the norm in Llanfairfechan, conveyancers will often direct clients away from them as they detract from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up losing your deposit then the solicitor is left exposed. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that just because the owner has signed a lock out agreement they will sell to you. They may be tempted to break the contract if they receive a large enough financial inducement to do so because a wronged claimant with the benefit of a exclusivity agreement will still be obliged establish consequential losses from the breach and these may not equate the extra amount that your vendor may obtain by breaching the contract, however morally condemnable that may be.
2 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Llanfairfechan completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Llanfairfechan I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Llanfairfechan suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
