There are a couple of main concerns with executing a lock out contract (occasionally termed a shut-out contract) is that it diverts attention away from making progress with the conveyancing work, so in the absence of it needing little or no negotiation then it could transpire to be a hindrance. It is not strongly advocated amongst Harlesden conveyancing practitioners as a result. The other main issue is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted buyer is very unlikely to secure an injunction to bar the vendor disposing of the property to an alternative purchaser, so the only remedy open via the contract will be the recovery of wasted costs and, in rare situations, the extra payment of penalties.
