This type of arrangement isn't common in Porthleven, conveyancers are not keen on them as they detract from focusing on the main conveyancing focus and if you end up losing your deposit then the lawyer at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. In addition, there is no certainty that just because the proprietor has entered into a lock out contract they will complete the sale with you. They may be in contravention of the agreement if they receive sufficient financial inducement to do so because an aggrieved party with the benefit of a exclusivity agreement will still be obliged show losses as a consequence of the breach and these may not compare to the extra amount that your vendor may obtain by reneging on the agreement, however morally reprehensible it undoubtedly is.
