The owners of the home we are looking to purchase hired a conveyancing firm in Wetherby who has suggested a exclusivity contract with a non-refundable deposit 10k. Are such contracts the norm for Wetherby conveyancing transactions?

This type of arrangement is unusual in Wetherby, conveyancers will often direct clients away from them as they divert attention from the primary focus, namely conveyancing and if you end up losing your deposit then the lawyer at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. Furthermore, there is no certainty that just because the proprietor has entered into a lock out agreement they will sell to you. They may be motivated to break the agreement if they receive sufficient incentive to do so because an aggrieved claimant with the benefit of a exclusivitycontract will still be duty bound to establish consequential losses from the breach and these may not amount to the financial benefit that your vendor may obtain by breaching the contract, no matter how morally unworthy the behaviour is.

    Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.
