The vendors of the property we are purchasing have instructed a conveyancing practitioner in Mossley who has suggested a exclusivity agreement with a deposit 10k. Are such agreements sensible?
This kind of preliminary agreement isn't frequently used in Mossley, conveyancers are not keen on them as they divert attention from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up losing your deposit then the solicitor is left exposed. Secondly, there is no guarantee that just because the vendor has entered into an exclusivity contract they will complete the sale with you. They may be motivated to break the contract if they receive a large enough financial inducement to do so because an aggrieved claimant with the benefit of a exclusivity agreement will still be duty bound to establish consequential losses from the breach and these may not equate the extra amount that your seller may gain by reneging on the agreement, however morally condemnable the behaviour is.

The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.
