There are two main drawbacks with entering into any lock out agreement (sometimes known as an exclusivity agreement) is that it takes away the focus from moving forward with the conveyancing work, so in the absence of it needing minimal or no negotiation then it may turn out to be a cause of frustration and delay. It is not particularly popular by Mortlake conveyancing practitioners as a result. A further negative is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted buyer is extremely unlikely to secure an injunction to prevent the seller selling to an alternative purchaser, so the only remedy available under the agreement will be the reimbursement of wasted charges and, in limited circumstances, the extra payment of penalties.

The purchaser’s solicitors may also carry out an enviro report. This will reveal whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further inquiries should be initiated.
