The owners of the home we are looking to purchase have appointed a conveyancing firm in Maida Hill who has insisted on a exclusivity agreement with a deposit two thousand pounds. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
This kind of contract isn't frequently used in Maida Hill, conveyancers are not keen on 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 guarantee that just because the owner has entered into an exclusivity contract they will sell to you. They may breach the contract if they receive sufficient incentive to do so because a wronged buyer with the benefit of a exclusivitycontract will still be obliged establish consequential losses from the breach and this may not amount to the extra amount that the owner may gain by reneging on the contract, no matter how morally reprehensible that may be.

Should I be wary about 3rd parties that I am dealing with are suggesting a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Maida Hill conveyancing company?
As with lots of service providers, often recommendations from family and friends can be worth their weight in gold. Nevertheless there are numerous parties with a vested interest in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders might all recommend solicitors to use. On occasion these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but sometimes there exists a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You have the right to choose your own lawyer. Don't forget that many mortgage providers have an approved list of conveyancers you must use for the lender related work in your transaction.
