The vendors of the home we are hoping to buy are using a conveyancing practitioner in Dockland Settlement who has recommended a lock out agreement with a down payment two thousand pounds. Are such agreements sensible?

This form of arrangement is not the norm in Dockland Settlement, conveyancers are often found to 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 at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. In addition, there is no guarantee that just because the proprietor has signed a lock out contract they will complete the sale with you. They may be inclined to break the contract if they receive sufficient offer to do so because an aggrieved buyer with the benefit of a lockout agreement will still have to show losses as a consequence of the breach and these may not amount to the extra amount that the owner may secure by breaking the contract, however morally shameful that may be.
