We have very assertive sellers who has recommended a exclusivity agreement with a deposit 10k. Are such agreements sensible?

There are two main drawbacks with signing a lock out contract (sometimes known as a shut-out contract) is that it can distract from progressing with the conveyancing process, so in the absence of it needing little or no negotiation then it could transpire to be a hindrance. It is not particularly popular by Monkseaton conveyancing practitioners as a result. A further issue is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted purchaser is extremely unlikely to obtain an injunctive ruling by a court to prohibit the seller disposing of the property to another buyer, so the only remedy available under the contract will be the reimbursement of wasted costs and, in restricted scenarios, the additional payment of damages.

I have been told that property searches are the number one reason for hinderance in Monkseaton house deals. Is that correct?
