The vendors of the home we are looking to purchase have instructed a conveyancing firm in Llantwit Major who has insisted on a preliminary contract with a payment two thousand pounds. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
This type of preliminary agreement is unusual in Llantwit Major, conveyancers are not keen on them as they divert attention from the primary focus, namely conveyancing and if you end up losing your deposit then the solicitor at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. Secondly, there is no assurance that just because the owner has signed a lock out agreement they will sell to you. They may breach the contract if they receive sufficient incentive to do so because an aggrieved claimant with the benefit of a exclusivitycontract will still be duty bound to show losses as a consequence of the breach and these may not equalise the financial benefit that your seller may secure by reneging on the agreement, however morally condemnable the behaviour is.

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Llantwit Major approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed.

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.
