The owners of the house we are looking to purchase hired a conveyancing firm in Saltney who has recommended a lock out agreement with a deposit 6,000. Are such agreements generally advanced for Saltney conveyancing transactions?
This form of agreement is unusual in Saltney, conveyancers will often encourage clients away from them as they detract from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up losing your deposit then the lawyer is left exposed. Furthermore, there is no certainty that just because the seller has signed an exclusivity agreement they will complete the sale with you. They may be motivated to break the contract if they are offered sufficient offer to do so because a wronged party with the benefit of a lockout agreement will still be obliged show losses as a consequence of the breach and this may not amount to the extra amount that your seller may secure by breaking the contract, no matter how morally condemnable that may be.
