The owners of the house we are looking to purchase are using a conveyancing solicitor in Abercynon who has suggested a lock out agreement with a payment two thousand pounds. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?

This form of preliminary agreement is not the norm in Abercynon, 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 at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. In addition, there is no guarantee that just because the vendor has signed a lock out contract they will complete the sale with you. They may breach the agreement if they receive a big enough financial inducement to do so because an aggrieved purchaser with the benefit of a exclusivitycontract will still be legally obliged to show losses as a consequence of the breach and these may not equalise the financial benefit that your vendor may obtain by reneging on the contract, however morally unworthy the behaviour is.
