This type of preliminary agreement isn't common in Oakwood, conveyancers will often sway clients away from them as they divert attention from the primary objective, namely conveyancing and if you end up losing your deposit then the solicitor at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. In addition, there is no guarantee that just because the vendor has signed an exclusivity contract they will complete the sale with you. They may breach the contract if they receive a big enough offer to do so because an aggrieved buyer with the benefit of a lockoutcontract will still have to establish consequential losses from the breach and this may not compare to the financial benefit that your vendor may secure by breaking the agreement, no matter how morally unworthy the behaviour is.
