The sellers of the property we are purchasing are using a conveyancing solicitor in Polperro who has insisted on a exclusivity agreement with a payment 6,000. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
This type of arrangement is not the norm in Polperro, conveyancers are not keen on them as they detract from the primary objective, namely conveyancing and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the solicitor at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. Secondly, there is no certainty that just because the vendor has entered into an exclusivity contract they will complete the sale with you. They may be motivated to break the agreement if they receive a big enough financial inducement to do so because a wronged purchaser with the benefit of a exclusivity agreement will still be obliged show losses as a consequence of the breach and these may not compare to the extra amount that your seller may gain by reneging on the contract, however morally condemnable the behaviour is.

How does conveyancing in Polperro differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Polperro come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because house builders in Polperro usually buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Polperro or who has acted in the same development.
