The owners of the house we are hoping to buy have instructed a conveyancing practitioner in Dewsbury who has suggested a exclusivity agreement with a down payment two thousand pounds. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
Lock out agreements are contracts binding a property seller and prospective buyer giving the buyer exclusive rights to purchase the property within a prescribed time frame. For all intents and purposes, an exclusivity is a document specifying that you should receive a contract at a later date being the main conveyancing contract. It tends to be used for buyer protection though in many situations, the owner may stand to benefit from such agreements as well. There are various positives and negatives to having an agreement but you need to check with your conveyancer but beware that it may result in incurring more in conveyancing fees. In light of this these agreements are rare in relation to conveyancing in Dewsbury.

It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently at the moment.
