We have rather brash vendors who has suggested a exclusivity contract with a down payment two thousand pounds. Are such contracts generally advanced for Aldersgate conveyancing transactions?
There are two primary drawbacks with entering into any lock out agreement (also termed a no-shop agreement) is that it takes away the focus from progressing with the conveyancing work, so in the absence of it needing limited or no negotiation then it could turn out to be a hindrance. It is not promoted amongst Aldersgate conveyancing practitioners for this reason. The other main negative is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted purchaser is very unlikely to secure injunctive relief to prohibit the owner completing the sale to a third party, so the only remedy available under the agreement will be the recovery of abortive charges and, in restricted scenarios, the extra payment of penalties.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Aldersgate registration formalities.
