The sellers of the house we are purchasing are using a conveyancing solicitor in Ilfracombe who has recommended a preliminary agreement with a payment of 5k. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
This type of contract is unusual in Ilfracombe, conveyancers are not keen on them as they divert attention from the primary focus, namely conveyancing 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 guarantee that just because the seller has entered into a lock out agreement they will sell to you. They may be in contravention of the agreement if they are offered sufficient offer to do so because a wronged buyer with the benefit of a lockoutcontract will still have to establish consequential losses from the breach and this may not equate the extra amount that your seller may obtain by reneging on the agreement, no matter how morally condemnable that may be.
