We have rather brash vendors who has recommended a preliminary contract with a non-refundable deposit of 5k. Are such agreements sensible?
This type of preliminary agreement isn't common in Hounslow, conveyancers are often inclined to direct clients away from them as they detract from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the solicitor is left exposed. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that just because the seller has executed an exclusivity contract they will complete the sale with you. They may breach the contract if they receive a big enough financial inducement to do so because a wronged purchaser with the benefit of a exclusivitycontract will still have to show losses as a consequence of the breach and this may not equate the financial benefit that the owner may secure by reneging on the agreement, however morally shameful the behaviour is.

I happen to be the only beneficiary of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Hounslow.

The CML handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be caught by that. Some mortgage companies would take a sensible view as this obligation principally exists to pick up on subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
