The vendors of the home we are looking to purchase are using a conveyancing practitioner in Stokesley who has insisted on a exclusivity contract with a deposit 10k. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?

This kind of arrangement is not the norm in Stokesley, conveyancers are often found to direct clients away from them as they detract from focusing on the primary focus, 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 assurance that just because the vendor has entered into an exclusivity agreement they will sell to you. They may be motivated to break the contract if they are offered a large enough incentive to do so because an aggrieved party with the benefit of a exclusivity agreement will still have to show losses as a consequence of the breach and this may not equate the extra amount that the owner may gain by reneging on the contract, however morally reprehensible it undoubtedly is.
