This kind of contract is unusual in Rhosneigr, conveyancers are often inclined to direct clients away from them as they detract from focusing on 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 certainty that just because the owner 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 offer to do so because a wronged buyer with the benefit of a exclusivity agreement will still be obliged establish consequential losses from the breach and this may not equalise the financial benefit that your seller may secure by breaching the agreement, no matter how morally condemnable the behaviour is.

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.
