This form of preliminary agreement is not the norm in Bracebridge Heath, conveyancers are not keen on them as they divert attention from the primary focus, namely conveyancing and if you end up losing your deposit then the lawyer is left exposed. Furthermore, there is no assurance that just because the proprietor has signed an exclusivity contract they will sell to you. They may be tempted to break the agreement if they are offered a large enough offer to do so because a wronged buyer with the benefit of a exclusivity agreement will still have to show losses as a consequence of the breach and these may not compare to the financial upside that the owner may secure by reneging on the contract, no matter how morally reprehensible the behaviour is.

It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
