The sellers of the house we are hoping to buy have appointed a conveyancing firm in Great Harwood who has suggested a exclusivity agreement with a payment 6,000. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?

This kind of preliminary agreement isn't frequently used in Great Harwood, conveyancers are often found to direct clients away from them as they detract from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the lawyer at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. In addition, there is no certainty that just because the proprietor has executed a lock out agreement they will sell to you. They may breach the contract if they receive a large enough incentive to do so because an aggrieved purchaser with the benefit of a exclusivity agreement will still have to show losses as a consequence of the breach and this may not compare to the financial benefit that the owner may obtain by breaking the agreement, no matter how morally condemnable it undoubtedly is.
