We have very brash sellers who has recommended a preliminary contract with a non-refundable deposit of 5k. Are such agreements sensible?
This type of agreement is not the norm in West Harrow, 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 lawyer is left exposed. Furthermore, there is no assurance that just because the owner has entered into a lock out agreement they will sell to you. They may be in contravention of the contract if they are offered a big enough financial inducement to do so because an aggrieved buyer with the benefit of a lockoutcontract will still have to show losses as a consequence of the breach and these may not equate the extra amount that your vendor may obtain by breaching the contract, however morally condemnable the behaviour is.

We don’t offer any commission for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
