The owners have very brash vendors who has suggested a exclusivity agreement with a deposit 6,000. Are such agreements sensible?
Exclusivity contracts are contracts binding a home owner and purchaser granting the buyer the sole right to purchase the property within an agreed time frame. For all intents and purposes, a lock out agreement is a contract stating that you will receive a contract at a later time being the contract for the actual sale. It is generally used for buyer assurance though in many situations, the proprietor may enjoy an upside from such agreements as well. There are numerous positives and negatives to using an agreement but you need to check with your solicitor but beware that it may end up costing you more in conveyancing charges. For these reasons these agreements are avoided in relation to conveyancing in Norton Woodseats.
