We have very pushy vendors who has recommended a preliminary agreement with a payment of 5k. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
There are two primary drawbacks with executing a lock out agreement (also termed an exclusivity agreement) is that it can distract from moving forward with the conveyancing process, so unless it requires limited or no negotiation then it may transpire to be a hindrance. It is not strongly advocated amongst Ogmore By Sea conveyancing practitioners for this reason. The other main concern is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved buyer should not expect to be issued with an injunctive ruling by a court to prevent the vendor completing the sale to an alternative purchaser, so the only remedy open via the contract will be the reimbursement of abortive costs and, in limited situations, the additional payment of penalties.
How does conveyancing in Ogmore By Sea differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Ogmore By Sea come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because developers in Ogmore By Sea tend to purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Ogmore By Sea or who has acted in the same development.
