The vendors of the property we are looking to purchase are using a conveyancing practitioner in Keston who has recommended a lock out agreement with a deposit 10k. Are such contracts generally advanced for Keston conveyancing transactions?
There are a couple of primary concerns with entering into any lock out contract (sometimes termed an exclusivity agreement) is that it takes away the focus from making progress with the conveyancing transaction itself, so unless it requires minimal or no negotiation then it could turn out to be unhelpful. It is not promoted by Keston conveyancing lawyers for this reason. A supplemental negative is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved buyer is extremely unlikely to be granted injunctive relief to prevent the owner completing the sale to another buyer, so the only remedy open via the contract will be the recovery of wasted costs and, in limited situations, the additional payment of penalties.
