We have rather assertive sellers who has recommended a exclusivity agreement with a payment 10k. Are such agreements recommended for West Hill conveyancing transactions?
This type of agreement isn't frequently used in West Hill, conveyancers will often direct clients away from them as they divert attention from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the lawyer is left exposed. Furthermore, 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 inclined to break the contract if they are offered a large enough incentive to do so because a wronged claimant with the benefit of a exclusivitycontract will still be obliged show losses as a consequence of the breach and this may not compare to the financial benefit that the owner may obtain by breaching the contract, no matter how morally condemnable the behaviour is.

You can also enquire as to the position with your conveyancing solicitor who completed the work.
