We have very pushy sellers who has suggested a exclusivity agreement with a payment two thousand pounds. Are such agreements sensible?
This form of arrangement isn't frequently used in Thornaby, conveyancers are often found to veer clients away from them as they divert attention from 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 assurance that just because the seller has entered into an exclusivity contract they will complete the sale with you. They may be motivated to break the agreement if they are offered a large enough financial inducement to do so because an aggrieved claimant with the benefit of a exclusivitycontract will still have to establish consequential losses from the breach and this may not equate the financial upside that the owner may obtain by breaching the agreement, no matter how morally shameful the behaviour is.
