We have very brash sellers who has suggested a exclusivity agreement with a down payment 6,000. Are such agreements sensible?
This form of arrangement is unusual in Newham, conveyancers will often direct clients away from them as they detract from focusing on the primary focus, namely conveyancing and if you end up losing your deposit then the solicitor at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. Furthermore, there is no certainty that just because the proprietor has signed a lock out agreement they will complete the sale with you. They may breach the agreement if they receive sufficient financial inducement to do so because an aggrieved claimant with the benefit of a exclusivity agreement will still be obliged establish consequential losses from the breach and these may not equalise the extra amount that the owner may obtain by breaching the agreement, no matter how morally unworthy the behaviour is.

Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. 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 unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
