The sellers of the house we are looking to purchase have instructed a conveyancing practitioner in Tokyngton who has suggested a lock out agreement with a non-refundable deposit 10k. Are such arrangements generally advanced for Tokyngton conveyancing transactions?
This type of contract is not the norm in Tokyngton, conveyancers are often found to veer clients away from them as they divert attention from the main conveyancing focus 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 assurance that just because the seller has entered into a lock out agreement they will complete the sale with you. They may be in contravention of the contract if they are offered a large enough offer to do so because an aggrieved purchaser with the benefit of a exclusivity agreement will still be legally obliged to establish consequential losses from the breach and this may not compare to the extra amount that the owner may gain by breaching the agreement, no matter how morally reprehensible it undoubtedly is.
