The owners of the property we are purchasing have instructed a conveyancing practitioner in Droitwich who has recommended a preliminary contract with a non-refundable deposit two thousand pounds. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
There are two primary drawbacks with entering into any lock out agreement (occasionally known as a no-shop agreement) is that it takes away the focus from making progress with the conveyancing work, so in the absence of it needing minimal or no negotiation then it may turn out to be unhelpful. It is not strongly advocated by Droitwich conveyancing solicitors as a result. The other main issue is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted buyer should not expect to win an injunction to prevent the vendor disposing of the property to a third party, so the only remedy available under the contract will be the recovery of abortive costs and, in rare situations, the additional payment of penalties.
