The vendors of the property we are looking to purchase hired a conveyancing firm in Wotton under Edge who has suggested a preliminary contract with a deposit two thousand pounds. Are such agreements sensible?
There are two main drawbacks with entering into any lock out agreement (sometimes termed a shut-out contract) is that it takes away the focus from progressing with the conveyancing process, so in the absence of it needing limited or no negotiation then it may transpire to be a hindrance. It is not strongly advocated amongst Wotton under Edge conveyancing solicitors as a result. A supplemental negative is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted buyer should not expect to secure an injunctive ruling by a court to prohibit the owner selling to another buyer, so the only remedy available under the agreement will be the reimbursement of abortive charges and, in restricted situations, the extra payment of damages.
