Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Old Swan

The owners of the home we are hoping to buy have appointed a conveyancing firm in Old Swan who has recommended a lock out contract with a payment 6,000. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?

This kind of preliminary agreement is unusual in Old Swan, conveyancers will often try and steer clients away from them as they detract from focusing on the primary focus, namely conveyancing and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the lawyer is left exposed. In addition, there is no guarantee that just because the owner has entered into a lock out agreement they will sell to you. They may breach the contract if they receive a big enough offer to do so because an aggrieved purchaser with the benefit of a lockoutcontract will still be obliged establish consequential losses from the breach and this may not amount to the financial benefit that your vendor may obtain by reneging on the contract, however morally shameful the behaviour is.
