The sellers of the house we are looking to purchase are using a conveyancing solicitor in Blythe Bridge who has insisted on a lock out agreement with a down payment 10k. Are such contracts appropriate for Blythe Bridge conveyancing transactions?
This form of arrangement is unusual in Blythe Bridge, conveyancers are often found to veer clients away from them as they divert attention from the primary objective, namely conveyancing and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the lawyer at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. In addition, there is no assurance that just because the owner has signed a lock out agreement they will sell to you. They may breach the agreement if they receive sufficient incentive to do so because an aggrieved claimant with the benefit of a lockout agreement will still have to establish consequential losses from the breach and these may not equate the financial upside that your seller may obtain by breaking the contract, however morally condemnable the behaviour is.
