The owners of the home we are looking to purchase hired a conveyancing solicitor in Llandaff North who has recommended a exclusivity contract with a deposit of 5k. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
This kind of agreement isn't frequently used in Llandaff North, conveyancers are often inclined to veer clients away from them as they divert attention from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up losing your deposit then the solicitor at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. In addition, there is no certainty that just because the proprietor has executed a lock out contract they will complete the sale with you. They may be tempted to break the agreement if they are offered a large enough offer to do so because an aggrieved party with the benefit of a lockout agreement will still have to show losses as a consequence of the breach and this may not compare to the financial benefit that your seller may obtain by breaching the agreement, however morally unworthy the behaviour is.
