The vendors of the property we are hoping to buy have appointed a conveyancing practitioner in Creigiau who has insisted on a lock out contract with a non-refundable deposit 10k. Are such arrangements the norm for Creigiau conveyancing transactions?
There are two main drawbacks with executing a lock out agreement (sometimes termed a shut-out contract) is that it can distract from progressing with the conveyancing process, so unless it requires minimal or no negotiation then it could turn out to be a hindrance. It is not strongly advocated amongst Creigiau conveyancing practitioners for this reason. A further negative is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved buyer should not expect to be granted injunctive relief to stop the seller completing the sale to another buyer, so the only remedy open via the agreement will be the recovery of wasted charges and, in limited scenarios, the additional payment of damages.
