We have very assertive vendors who has suggested a exclusivity agreement with a payment of 5k. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
There are a couple of main concerns with signing a lock out agreement (sometimes known as a shut-out contract) is that it diverts attention away from progressing with the conveyancing transaction itself, so in the absence of it needing minimal or no negotiation then it may transpire to be a cause of frustration and delay. It is not particularly popular amongst Aldermanbury conveyancing lawyers for this reason. A supplemental issue is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted purchaser is not likely to be granted an injunctive ruling by a court to prohibit the owner disposing of the property to a third party, so the only remedy available under the agreement will be the recovery of wasted costs and, in restricted situations, the additional payment of damages.

Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should pay the maintenance contribution as normal given that all ground rent and service charges will be apportionedon completion, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date.
