The sellers of the home we are hoping to buy have instructed a conveyancing practitioner in Hoddesdon who has suggested a preliminary contract with a payment 10k. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
This type of agreement is unusual in Hoddesdon, conveyancers are often inclined to veer clients away from them as they divert attention from the primary objective, namely conveyancing and if you end up losing your deposit then the solicitor at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that just because the owner has executed a lock out contract they will complete the sale with you. They may breach the agreement if they are offered a big enough financial inducement to do so because a wronged claimant with the benefit of a exclusivity agreement will still have to establish consequential losses from the breach and these may not compare to the extra amount that the owner may secure by reneging on the agreement, no matter how morally condemnable it undoubtedly is.
