The vendors of the property we are hoping to buy have instructed a conveyancing solicitor in West Haddon who has suggested a lock out contract with a deposit of 5k. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?

This kind of agreement isn't common in West Haddon, conveyancers will often try and steer clients away from them as they detract from focusing on the main conveyancing focus and if you end up losing your deposit then the solicitor at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. In addition, there is no assurance that just because the vendor has executed an exclusivity contract they will complete the sale with you. They may breach the contract if they are offered a big enough offer to do so because an aggrieved buyer with the benefit of a lockoutcontract will still be duty bound to show losses as a consequence of the breach and this may not compare to the financial benefit that your vendor may obtain by breaching the agreement, however morally unworthy it undoubtedly is.
