The sellers of the property we are purchasing have appointed a conveyancing firm in Horsford who has suggested a exclusivity contract with a payment two thousand pounds. Are such agreements the norm for Horsford conveyancing transactions?
This form of agreement is unusual in Horsford, 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 is left exposed. Furthermore, there is no certainty that just because the proprietor has executed an exclusivity contract they will sell to you. They may be in contravention of the agreement if they receive a large enough incentive to do so because an aggrieved claimant with the benefit of a lockoutcontract will still be obliged establish consequential losses from the breach and this may not compare to the extra amount that your vendor may secure by breaching the contract, however morally unworthy that may be.
