The owners of the home we are looking to purchase have instructed a conveyancing practitioner in Kirby Muxloe who has recommended a preliminary agreement with a payment two thousand pounds. Are such arrangements appropriate for Kirby Muxloe conveyancing transactions?
This form of contract isn't frequently used in Kirby Muxloe, conveyancers will often try and steer clients away from them as they detract from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up losing your deposit then the lawyer is left exposed. In addition, there is no guarantee that just because the seller has signed a lock out contract they will complete the sale with you. They may breach the agreement if they receive sufficient incentive to do so because an aggrieved buyer with the benefit of a exclusivitycontract will still be obliged show losses as a consequence of the breach and this may not compare to the financial upside that your seller may secure by reneging on the contract, however morally shameful it undoubtedly is.
