The owners have rather pushy sellers who has insisted on a preliminary contract with a payment 6,000. Are such agreements the norm for Lampeter conveyancing transactions?
Lock out agreements are agreements between a property vendor and purchaser giving the buyer a ‘clear field’ to purchase the premises within a prescribed time frame. Essentially, an exclusivity agreement is a contract stating that you will receive a contract at a later date which is the main conveyancing contract. It is generally utilised for buyer protection though in many situations, the vendor may stand to benefit from such agreements as well. There are many pros and cons to using them but you need to check with your lawyer but beware that it may result in costing you extra in conveyancing fees. For these reasons these agreements are not popular when it comes to conveyancing in Lampeter.
