The sellers of the home we are hoping to buy have instructed a conveyancing solicitor in Bishops Castle who has recommended a lock out agreement with a deposit 6,000. Are such arrangements promoted for Bishops Castle conveyancing transactions?
There are two main downsides with entering into any lock out contract (sometimes termed a shut-out contract) is that it takes away the focus from moving forward with the conveyancing work, so in the absence of it needing little or no negotiation then it may transpire to be a hindrance. It is not promoted by Bishops Castle conveyancing solicitors as a result. The other main issue is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved purchaser is not likely to be granted an injunctive ruling by a court to prohibit the seller completing the sale to another buyer, so the only remedy available under the contract will be the reimbursement of wasted charges and, in restricted circumstances, the additional payment of penalties.
