We have very pushy vendors who has insisted on a exclusivity agreement with a deposit of 5k. Are such arrangements generally advanced for Tilehurst conveyancing transactions?
This kind of preliminary agreement isn't common in Tilehurst, conveyancers will often sway clients away from them as they detract from focusing on the primary focus, namely conveyancing and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the solicitor at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. In addition, there is no guarantee that just because the vendor has signed an exclusivity agreement they will sell to you. They may breach the agreement if they receive a big enough incentive to do so because an aggrieved party with the benefit of a exclusivity agreement will still be obliged establish consequential losses from the breach and these may not equate the extra amount that the owner may gain by breaching the agreement, however morally shameful that may be.
