We have rather brash sellers who has suggested a preliminary contract with a non-refundable deposit of 5k. Are such agreements sensible?
This kind of arrangement is unusual in Horbury, conveyancers will often sway clients away from them as they detract from focusing on the main conveyancing focus and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the solicitor at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. Secondly, there is no assurance that just because the seller has executed an exclusivity agreement they will sell to you. They may breach the contract if they receive a large enough financial inducement to do so because an aggrieved claimant with the benefit of a lockout agreement will still be obliged establish consequential losses from the breach and this may not equalise the financial benefit that your vendor may obtain by breaking the contract, however morally unworthy it undoubtedly is.
