We have very pushy vendors who has insisted on a exclusivity agreement with a non-refundable deposit 6,000. Are such agreements the norm for Blaydon On Tyne conveyancing transactions?
This kind of arrangement is unusual in Blaydon On Tyne, conveyancers will often sway clients away from them as they detract from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the solicitor at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. Secondly, there is no guarantee that just because the owner has executed an exclusivity contract they will complete the sale with you. They may breach the agreement if they are offered a large enough financial inducement to do so because an aggrieved purchaser with the benefit of a lockout agreement will still be legally obliged to establish consequential losses from the breach and these may not equate the financial benefit that your seller may secure by reneging on the contract, however morally condemnable the behaviour is.
