We have very assertive sellers who has recommended a lock out contract with a non-refundable deposit 10k. Are such agreements promoted for Hollywood conveyancing transactions?
This form of agreement isn't frequently used in Hollywood, conveyancers are often inclined to direct clients away from them as they divert attention from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up losing your deposit then the lawyer is left exposed. Secondly, there is no assurance that just because the proprietor has entered into a lock out contract they will complete the sale with you. They may be inclined to break the agreement if they receive sufficient offer to do so because an aggrieved claimant with the benefit of a lockout agreement will still be obliged establish consequential losses from the breach and this may not amount to the extra amount that your vendor may secure by breaking the agreement, however morally reprehensible the behaviour is.
