The sellers of the property we are hoping to buy are using a conveyancing solicitor in Kidbrooke who has suggested a exclusivity contract with a payment 6,000. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?

Exclusivity agreements are contracts binding a home owner and prospective acquirer granting the buyer exclusive rights to purchase the property for a limited period of time. Essentially, an exclusivity agreement is a contract specifying that you will receive a contract at a later date which is the main conveyancing contract. It is generally utilised for buyer protection though in many situations, the seller may enjoy an upside from such agreements as well. There are various pros and cons to using an agreement but you need to check with your conveyancer but note that it may result in costing you extra in conveyancing fees. In light of these reasons these contracts are unusual in relation to conveyancing in Kidbrooke.

Planning on purchasing a flat in Kidbrooke.

I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Kidbrooke lawyer is on the Principality conveyancing panel.
