The owners have very brash vendors who has insisted on a exclusivity agreement with a down payment 6,000. Are such agreements recommended for North Shields conveyancing transactions?
This form of contract isn't frequently used in North Shields, conveyancers will often sway clients away from them as they detract from focusing on the main conveyancing focus and if you end up losing your deposit then the solicitor at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. Secondly, there is no certainty that just because the owner has signed a lock out agreement they will sell to you. They may be in contravention of the agreement if they are offered sufficient incentive to do so because an aggrieved claimant with the benefit of a exclusivity agreement will still have to show losses as a consequence of the breach and these may not amount to the financial benefit that the owner may secure by reneging on the contract, however morally condemnable the behaviour is.
