It is not strongly advocated by Liskeard conveyancing practitioners for this reason. A supplemental negative is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved buyer should not expect to be issued with an injunction to prevent the owner completing the sale to a third party, so the only remedy open via the agreement will be the recovery of wasted costs and, in restricted circumstances, the additional payment of damages.
