The sellers of the house we are hoping to buy have instructed a conveyancing firm in Bramford who has recommended a lock out contract with a down payment 10k. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
This form of contract is not the norm in Bramford, conveyancers are often inclined 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 is left exposed. Furthermore, there is no assurance that just because the vendor has executed an exclusivity contract they will complete the sale with you. They may breach the agreement if they are offered a large enough offer to do so because a wronged party with the benefit of a exclusivitycontract will still be obliged show losses as a consequence of the breach and this may not equate the extra amount that your seller may secure by breaching the contract, however morally unworthy that may be.

Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with RBS your lawyer must check the conveyancing requirements contained in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for RBS. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to RBS where a lease fails to satisfy these conditions.
