We have rather assertive vendors who has suggested a preliminary agreement with a non-refundable deposit 6,000. Are such contracts recommended for Tottenham conveyancing transactions?
There are a couple of primary downsides with executing a lock out agreement (sometimes termed a shut-out contract) is that it takes away the focus from moving forward with the conveyancing transaction itself, so in the absence of it needing limited or no negotiation then it could turn out to be a cause of frustration and delay. It is not particularly popular amongst Tottenham conveyancing solicitors as a result. A supplemental negative is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved buyer is very unlikely to obtain an injunction to stop the vendor selling to another buyer, so the only remedy open via the contract will be the reimbursement of abortive costs and, in restricted scenarios, the extra payment of damages.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Tottenham I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Tottenham in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

The preferential way of finding the right conveyancer is via trusted recommendation, so enquire of colleagues and family who have bought a property in Tottenham or the respected estate agent or mortgage broker.Fees for conveyancing in Tottenham vary, so it's a good idea to secure at least three fee estimates from different conveyancers. Be sure to secure confirmation that the costs are assured not to escalate.
