The sellers of the house we are purchasing hired a conveyancing practitioner in Ingatestone who has insisted on a preliminary contract with a payment 10k. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
This form of arrangement is not the norm in Ingatestone, conveyancers are not keen on them as they detract from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the solicitor is left exposed. Secondly, there is no certainty that just because the proprietor has executed a lock out contract they will sell to you. They may be motivated to break the agreement if they are offered sufficient financial inducement to do so because an aggrieved buyer with the benefit of a exclusivity agreement will still be obliged show losses as a consequence of the breach and this may not equalise the extra amount that the owner may obtain by breaking the contract, however morally condemnable it undoubtedly is.
