The sellers of the home we are hoping to buy have instructed a conveyancing practitioner in Isle Of Anglesey who has recommended a lock out contract with a non-refundable deposit 6,000. Are such agreements sensible?
This form of arrangement isn't common in Isle Of Anglesey, 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. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that just because the proprietor has executed a lock out contract they will sell to you. They may be tempted to break the agreement if they receive a large enough incentive to do so because a wronged party with the benefit of a lockout agreement will still have to show losses as a consequence of the breach and this may not equate the extra amount that your vendor may secure by breaking the contract, however morally shameful it undoubtedly is.

How does conveyancing in Isle Of Anglesey differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Isle Of Anglesey contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because builders in Isle Of Anglesey usually acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended.
