We have rather pushy sellers who has insisted on a exclusivity agreement with a down payment two thousand pounds. Are such agreements the norm for Maryport conveyancing transactions?
There are two main drawbacks with entering into any lock out agreement (also referred to as a shut-out contract) is that it can distract from moving forward with the conveyancing transaction itself, so unless it requires little or no negotiation then it could turn out to be a hindrance. It is not strongly advocated amongst Maryport conveyancing practitioners for this reason. The other main concern is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted purchaser should not expect to win injunctive relief to stop the owner completing the sale to an alternative purchaser, so the only remedy open via the contract will be the reimbursement of abortive charges and, in limited situations, the extra payment of penalties.
