The owners have very brash sellers who has recommended a exclusivity contract with a deposit of 5k. Are such agreements sensible?
This form of arrangement is unusual in Peterston Super Ely, conveyancers are not keen on them as they detract from focusing on 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. Secondly, there is no certainty that just because the owner 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 large enough offer to do so because a wronged buyer with the benefit of a exclusivitycontract will still have to show losses as a consequence of the breach and this may not amount to the extra amount that your seller may secure by reneging on the agreement, no matter how morally reprehensible it undoubtedly is.

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons.
