The owners have very assertive sellers who has suggested a preliminary contract with a payment two thousand pounds. Are such contracts promoted for Monkseaton conveyancing transactions?

There are a couple of primary drawbacks with entering into any lock out agreement (also termed a no-shop agreement) is that it diverts attention away from making progress with the conveyancing work, so in the absence of it needing little or no negotiation then it may transpire to be a cause of frustration and delay. It is not promoted amongst Monkseaton conveyancing lawyers as a result. A supplemental concern is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved purchaser should not expect to be issued with an injunction to prohibit the seller completing the sale to a third party, so the only remedy available under the contract will be the recovery of abortive charges and, in restricted scenarios, the additional payment of penalties.

Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended.
