The owners have very assertive vendors who has insisted on a exclusivity agreement with a non-refundable deposit two thousand pounds. Are such contracts generally advanced for Bracebridge Heath conveyancing transactions?

There are a couple of main drawbacks with executing a lock out agreement (also known as a shut-out contract) is that it diverts attention away from moving forward with the conveyancing work, so unless it requires limited or no negotiation then it may turn out to be a cause of frustration and delay. It is not strongly advocated amongst Bracebridge Heath conveyancing practitioners for this reason. A further issue is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved purchaser is not likely to be granted an injunction to bar the vendor completing the sale to a third party, so the only remedy available under the agreement will be the reimbursement of abortive costs and, in rare scenarios, the additional payment of damages.
