Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Melling

The vendors of the property we are purchasing have appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Melling who has suggested a exclusivity agreement with a non-refundable deposit two thousand pounds. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?

This form of arrangement is not the norm in Melling, conveyancers are not keen on them as they detract from focusing on the primary focus, namely conveyancing and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the lawyer is left exposed. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that just because the owner has entered into an exclusivity agreement they will complete the sale with you. They may breach the contract if they receive a big enough incentive to do so because a wronged purchaser with the benefit of a lockout agreement will still be legally obliged to establish consequential losses from the breach and these may not compare to the extra amount that your seller may obtain by reneging on the contract, no matter how morally shameful the behaviour is.
