I am in need of a conveyancer. Do I opt for a web based conveyancer or a local Frognal conveyancing lawyer?

Existing third party connections are another important factor to consider when choosing conveyancing solicitors.

This kind of contract isn't common in Frognal, conveyancers are not keen on them as they detract from focusing on the primary objective, namely conveyancing and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the lawyer is left exposed. Secondly, there is no guarantee that just because the vendor has executed a lock out contract they will complete the sale with you. They may be in contravention of the contract if they are offered sufficient financial inducement to do so because a wronged claimant with the benefit of a exclusivitycontract will still have to establish consequential losses from the breach and these may not equate the extra amount that your seller may gain by breaching the agreement, however morally condemnable it undoubtedly is.
