The sellers of the property we are purchasing have appointed a conveyancing practitioner in South Hornchurch who has insisted on a lock out contract with a down payment two thousand pounds. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
This kind of contract isn't frequently used in South Hornchurch, conveyancers will often encourage clients away from them as they detract from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up losing your deposit then the lawyer is left exposed. Secondly, there is no assurance that just because the owner has executed an exclusivity contract they will sell to you. They may be in contravention of the agreement if they receive a large enough financial inducement to do so because an aggrieved claimant with the benefit of a exclusivitycontract will still be legally obliged to establish consequential losses from the breach and these may not equate the financial benefit that your vendor may gain by breaching the agreement, no matter how morally condemnable it undoubtedly is.
