This form of contract isn't frequently used in Mansfield, conveyancers will often sway clients away from them as they detract 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 guarantee that just because the proprietor has entered into an exclusivity agreement they will sell to you. They may breach the contract if they receive sufficient incentive to do so because a wronged party with the benefit of a lockoutcontract will still have to establish consequential losses from the breach and these may not amount to the financial upside that the owner may gain by reneging on the agreement, however morally condemnable that may be.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
