The owners have rather pushy vendors who has insisted on a preliminary agreement with a non-refundable deposit two thousand pounds. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
There are two primary downsides with signing a lock out agreement (occasionally termed a shut-out contract) is that it can distract from making progress with the conveyancing work, so in the absence of it needing little or no negotiation then it could turn out to be a cause of frustration and delay. It is not promoted amongst Boscastle conveyancing lawyers for this reason. The other main concern is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved purchaser should not expect to win injunctive relief to bar the vendor disposing of the property to an alternative purchaser, so the only remedy open via the agreement will be the recovery of abortive costs and, in rare situations, the extra payment of damages.

I purchased a renovated Victorian property in Boscastle. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and . I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Boscastle and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Boscastle is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Boscastle are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Boscastle you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Boscastle may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
