The owners have very pushy vendors who has recommended a lock out contract with a deposit of 5k. Are such agreements sensible?
There are a couple of primary concerns with signing a lock out agreement (also referred to as an exclusivity agreement) is that it can distract from making progress with the conveyancing process, so in the absence of it needing little or no negotiation then it may turn out to be a cause of frustration and delay. It is not promoted amongst Upper Walthamstow conveyancing practitioners as a result. The other main concern is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted buyer is not likely to win an injunctive ruling by a court to stop the vendor selling to another buyer, so the only remedy available under the contract will be the reimbursement of wasted costs and, in restricted scenarios, the additional payment of damages.
