The sellers of the house we are purchasing have instructed a conveyancing firm in Olney who has suggested a exclusivity agreement with a deposit two thousand pounds. Are such contracts promoted for Olney conveyancing transactions?
This kind of contract isn't common in Olney, conveyancers are not keen on them as they detract from the primary objective, 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. In addition, there is no certainty that just because the seller has entered into an exclusivity agreement they will complete the sale with you. They may be in contravention of the agreement if they receive a big enough financial inducement to do so because a wronged buyer with the benefit of a exclusivity agreement will still have to establish consequential losses from the breach and these may not equalise the extra amount that your vendor may obtain by breaching the agreement, no matter how morally shameful it undoubtedly is.
