The owners have rather brash sellers who has suggested a lock out agreement with a non-refundable deposit two thousand pounds. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
This form of arrangement isn't frequently used in Calverton, conveyancers are often found to direct clients away from them as they detract from the main conveyancing focus 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 vendor has entered into an exclusivity agreement they will sell to you. They may be tempted to break the agreement if they receive sufficient offer to do so because a wronged claimant with the benefit of a lockoutcontract will still have to show losses as a consequence of the breach and these may not amount to the financial upside that your vendor may gain by reneging on the contract, however morally unworthy the behaviour is.

In the situation you refer to it seems prudent to seek to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. The Land Registry’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and official copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
