There are a couple of main concerns with entering into any lock out agreement (also known as a shut-out contract) is that it diverts attention away from moving forward with the conveyancing process, so in the absence of it needing minimal or no negotiation then it could transpire to be a cause of frustration and delay. It is not particularly popular amongst Long Hanborough conveyancing practitioners for this reason. A further negative is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted buyer should not expect to be granted an injunctive ruling by a court to prevent the seller completing the sale to a third party, so the only remedy open via the contract will be the reimbursement of wasted costs and, in restricted situations, the extra payment of damages.
