There are a couple of primary drawbacks with signing a lock out agreement (occasionally referred to as a no-shop agreement) is that it diverts attention away from moving forward with the conveyancing process, so in the absence of it needing little or no negotiation then it could transpire to be a hindrance. It is not strongly advocated by Stamford Hill conveyancing practitioners as a result. A supplemental issue is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted buyer is not likely to secure injunctive relief to prevent the owner selling to an alternative purchaser, so the only remedy available under the contract will be the recovery of wasted costs and, in rare circumstances, the additional payment of damages.
