The owners have very assertive vendors who has recommended a lock out agreement with a payment of 5k. Are such agreements sensible?
Exclusivity contracts are contracts binding a property owner and prospective acquirer giving the buyer a ‘clear field’ to the sale of the property within a prescribed time frame. Essentially, an exclusivity agreement is a contract stating that you will have a contract at a later date which is the contract for the actual sale. It tends to be used for buyer assurance though in some cases, the vendor may stand to benefit from such agreements as well. There are many pros and cons to having an agreement but you need to check with your lawyer but beware that it may result in costing you extra in conveyancing charges. For this these contracts are not popular when it comes to conveyancing in Tower Hill.
