We have very pushy vendors who has recommended a lock out agreement with a down payment 6,000. Are such contracts the norm for Braunstone conveyancing transactions?
This type of contract is not the norm in Braunstone, conveyancers are often found to veer clients away from them as they divert attention from the primary focus, namely conveyancing and if you end up losing your deposit then the solicitor at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. Secondly, there is no certainty that just because the seller has executed a lock out agreement they will complete the sale with you. They may be in contravention of the contract if they are offered a large enough offer to do so because a wronged claimant with the benefit of a lockout agreement will still be obliged show losses as a consequence of the breach and this may not equalise the extra amount that your seller may secure by breaking the agreement, no matter how morally shameful the behaviour is.
