The vendors of the home we are hoping to buy have instructed a conveyancing firm in Rush Green who has suggested a preliminary agreement with a payment of 5k. Are such agreements sensible?
This form of preliminary agreement is not the norm in Rush Green, conveyancers will often try and steer clients away from them as they detract from focusing on the main conveyancing focus and if you end up losing your deposit then the lawyer is left exposed. Secondly, there is no certainty that just because the proprietor has executed a lock out contract they will complete the sale with you. They may breach the agreement if they receive sufficient incentive to do so because a wronged party with the benefit of a exclusivity agreement will still have to establish consequential losses from the breach and this may not amount to the financial upside that your seller may gain by breaking the agreement, no matter how morally unworthy it undoubtedly is.
