We have very pushy vendors who has suggested a exclusivity agreement with a down payment two thousand pounds. Are such arrangements appropriate for Faversham conveyancing transactions?

This type of preliminary agreement is not the norm in Faversham, conveyancers will often try and steer clients away from them as they divert attention from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up losing your deposit then the solicitor is left exposed. Secondly, there is no assurance that just because the proprietor has signed an exclusivity contract they will complete the sale with you. They may be motivated to break the agreement if they receive sufficient offer to do so because a wronged purchaser with the benefit of a lockout agreement will still have to show losses as a consequence of the breach and this may not equalise the financial upside that your vendor may secure by breaching the contract, no matter how morally shameful the behaviour is.

My wife and I purchased a leasehold flat in Faversham. Conveyancing and Nottingham Building Society mortgage are in place. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1992. The conveyancing practitioner in Faversham who acted for me is not around. Any advice?

The first thing you should do is contact HMLR to be sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. It is not necessary to incur the fees of a Faversham conveyancing lawyer to do this as it can be done on-line for less than a fiver. You should note that regardless, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
