Exclusivity agreements are contracts between a home seller and purchaser giving the buyer a ‘clear field’ to purchase the premises within an agreed time frame. For all intents and purposes, a lock out is a document stating that you will have a contract at a later date which is the contract for the actual sale.

In light of these reasons these contracts are avoided when it comes to conveyancing in Earley.
