Lock out contracts are contracts binding a property vendor and purchaser giving the buyer exclusive rights to the sale of the premises for a limited period of time. For all intents and purposes, an exclusivity agreement is a contract specifying that you will be issued with a contract at a later date which is the contract for the actual sale.

It is 10 years ago since I purchased my property in Bermondsey. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been appointed on the sale but I am unable to track down my title deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?

Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be kept by your mortgage company or they could stored with the conveyancers who acted in the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers.
