The vendors of the home we are hoping to buy are using a conveyancing solicitor in Markfield who has recommended a preliminary agreement with a down payment of 5k. Are such agreements sensible?
There are a couple of primary downsides with executing a lock out contract (sometimes termed an exclusivity agreement) is that it diverts attention away from progressing with the conveyancing transaction itself, so unless it requires minimal or no negotiation then it could transpire to be a hindrance. It is not promoted by Markfield conveyancing solicitors as a result. A supplemental issue is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved purchaser should not expect to obtain an injunctive ruling by a court to bar the owner completing the sale to an alternative purchaser, so the only remedy available under the agreement will be the reimbursement of wasted charges and, in limited situations, the extra payment of penalties.
