Lock out agreements are contracts between a home seller and prospective acquirer giving the buyer the sole right to the sale of the premises within an agreed time frame. Essentially, an exclusivity agreement is a contract stating that you should receive a contract at a later date which is the contract for the actual sale.

Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the solicitor to exchange contracts at the suitable time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Chellaston)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
How does conveyancing in Chellaston differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Chellaston come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because developers in Chellaston usually purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Chellaston or who has acted in the same development.
