This kind of preliminary agreement isn't frequently used in Dover, conveyancers are not keen on them as they detract from focusing on the main conveyancing focus and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the lawyer is left exposed. Furthermore, there is no certainty that just because the vendor has entered into a lock out agreement they will sell to you. They may be in contravention of the agreement if they receive sufficient financial inducement to do so because an aggrieved purchaser with the benefit of a exclusivitycontract will still be obliged establish consequential losses from the breach and this may not equate the financial benefit that your seller may obtain by breaking the contract, no matter how morally condemnable it undoubtedly is.
