The owners of the property we are looking to purchase hired a conveyancing solicitor in Feltham who has suggested a lock out contract with a deposit two thousand pounds. Are such arrangements promoted for Feltham conveyancing transactions?
This form of agreement isn't common in Feltham, conveyancers are not keen on them as they divert attention from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up losing your deposit then the lawyer at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. Secondly, there is no certainty that just because the owner has signed an exclusivity agreement they will sell to you. They may be in contravention of the agreement if they are offered a large enough financial inducement to do so because a wronged buyer with the benefit of a lockout agreement will still have to establish consequential losses from the breach and this may not equalise the financial upside that your vendor may obtain by breaking the agreement, however morally condemnable it undoubtedly is.
