There are two main downsides with executing a lock out contract (also referred to as a no-shop agreement) is that it takes away the focus from progressing with the conveyancing process, so in the absence of it needing minimal or no negotiation then it could turn out to be a hindrance. It is not strongly advocated amongst Westbury On Trym conveyancing practitioners for this reason. A further issue is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted purchaser should not expect to be granted an injunction to prohibit the owner completing the sale to an alternative purchaser, so the only remedy open via the agreement will be the reimbursement of abortive costs and, in limited circumstances, the extra payment of penalties.
