This kind of contract is not the norm in Leigh On Sea, conveyancers will often try and steer clients away from them as they detract from the primary objective, 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.

They may breach the agreement if they receive a large enough offer to do so because a wronged claimant with the benefit of a lockout agreement will still have to show losses as a consequence of the breach and these may not amount to the financial benefit that the owner may gain by breaching the contract, no matter how morally shameful the behaviour is.
