The owners have very pushy sellers who has suggested a lock out contract with a deposit two thousand pounds. Are such agreements sensible?
This kind of agreement is not the norm in Datchet and Langley, conveyancers will often direct 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 solicitor is left exposed. In addition, there is no guarantee that just because the owner has signed a lock out contract they will sell to you. They may breach the contract if they receive a big enough offer to do so because an aggrieved claimant with the benefit of a exclusivity agreement will still have to establish consequential losses from the breach and these may not equalise the financial upside that the owner may obtain by breaking the contract, no matter how morally reprehensible the behaviour is.
