We have rather pushy sellers who has insisted on a preliminary agreement with a payment two thousand pounds. Are such agreements sensible?
This kind of contract is not the norm in Hampstead Garden Suburb, conveyancers will often sway clients away from them as they detract from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the solicitor at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. In addition, there is no guarantee that just because the proprietor has executed an exclusivity agreement they will complete the sale with you. They may be in contravention of the contract if they are offered a big enough financial inducement to do so because a wronged buyer with the benefit of a lockout agreement will still be obliged show losses as a consequence of the breach and these may not amount to the financial benefit that your seller may secure by breaking the contract, no matter how morally unworthy that may be.
