We have very brash vendors who has insisted on a exclusivity agreement with a deposit two thousand pounds. Are such agreements sensible?
Lock out contracts are contracts between a property seller and prospective acquirer granting the buyer exclusive rights to the sale of the property within an agreed time frame. Essentially, a lock out agreement is a contract stating that you should receive a contract at a later date which is the contract for the actual sale. It tends to be utilised for buyer protection though in some cases, the seller may enjoy an upside from such agreements as well. There are many positives and negatives to having them but you should to check with your solicitor but beware that it may result in costing you extra in conveyancing fees. For these reasons these contracts are rare when it comes to conveyancing in Bargoed.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Bargoed with a mortgage from Barnsley Building Society. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not disclose to my lawyer about the side-deal as it could jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
