We have rather brash sellers who has suggested a preliminary agreement with a deposit two thousand pounds. Are such agreements the norm for Wantage conveyancing transactions?

This type of preliminary agreement is unusual in Wantage, conveyancers are not keen on them as they divert attention from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up losing your deposit 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 proprietor has executed an exclusivity contract they will complete the sale with you. They may breach the contract if they receive sufficient offer to do so because a wronged party with the benefit of a exclusivity agreement will still be obliged establish consequential losses from the breach and these may not compare to the extra amount that your vendor may obtain by breaking the agreement, however morally unworthy the behaviour is.

Almost all conveyancing in Wantage relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
