The vendors of the property we are looking to purchase have instructed a conveyancing firm in Deganwy who has insisted on a preliminary agreement with a deposit 10k. Are such arrangements the norm for Deganwy conveyancing transactions?
There are a couple of primary drawbacks with executing a lock out agreement (occasionally referred to as a shut-out contract) is that it takes away the focus from making progress with the conveyancing process, so in the absence of it needing little or no negotiation then it could turn out to be a hindrance. It is not promoted amongst Deganwy conveyancing lawyers for this reason. A further concern is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved buyer is very unlikely to secure an injunctive ruling by a court to stop the owner disposing of the property to an alternative purchaser, so the only remedy available under the contract will be the recovery of wasted charges and, in rare circumstances, the extra payment of damages.
