The owners have rather assertive sellers who has insisted on a exclusivity agreement with a payment of 5k. Are such agreements sensible?
There are two main downsides with entering into any lock out contract (sometimes referred to as a shut-out contract) is that it takes away the focus from making progress with the conveyancing work, so unless it requires minimal or no negotiation then it may transpire to be a hindrance. It is not strongly advocated amongst Pangbourne conveyancing practitioners as a result. A supplemental concern is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved buyer should not expect to obtain an injunctive ruling by a court to stop the vendor selling to an alternative purchaser, so the only remedy available under the agreement will be the reimbursement of abortive costs and, in limited scenarios, the extra payment of penalties.
