We have rather pushy vendors who has insisted on a preliminary agreement with a payment of 5k. Are such contracts promoted for Leiston conveyancing transactions?

This type of preliminary agreement isn't common in Leiston, conveyancers will often sway clients away from them as they detract from the primary objective, namely conveyancing and if you end up losing your deposit then the solicitor is left exposed. In addition, there is no assurance that just because the proprietor has executed a lock out agreement they will sell to you. They may be in contravention of the agreement if they are offered a large enough financial inducement to do so because a wronged buyer with the benefit of a lockout agreement will still have to establish consequential losses from the breach and this may not amount to the extra amount that the owner may obtain by breaking the agreement, no matter how morally reprehensible that may be.

    Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.

I want to sublet my leasehold flat in Leiston. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?

Some leases for properties in Leiston do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.

    In the main the outlay for major works are not incorporated into the service charges, albeit that there some managing agents in Leiston ask tenants to pay into a sinking fund and this is used to offset against larger repairs or maintenance. You should be aware that where the lease has less than 80 years it will affect the salability of the property. It is worth checking with your bank that they are content with remaining years on the lease. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will probably need a lease extension at some point and you need to have some idea of how much this would cost. For most Leistonlease extensions you would need to own the property for two years before you are entitled to exercise a lease extension. Are there any major works anticipated that will likely increase the service costs?
