Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Chipping Sodbury

We have rather pushy vendors who has recommended a exclusivity agreement with a deposit two thousand pounds. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?

This type of contract isn't common in Chipping Sodbury, conveyancers are not keen on them as they detract from focusing on the primary focus, 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. Furthermore, there is no assurance that just because the vendor has signed an exclusivity agreement they will complete the sale with you. They may breach the contract if they are offered sufficient financial inducement to do so because an aggrieved purchaser with the benefit of a lockout agreement will still be obliged establish consequential losses from the breach and this may not compare to the extra amount that the owner may gain by breaking the contract, no matter how morally reprehensible it undoubtedly is.
