The owners have rather pushy vendors who has insisted on a lock out contract with a payment 10k. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
There are a couple of main concerns with signing a lock out contract (occasionally termed a shut-out contract) is that it can distract from moving forward with the conveyancing work, so unless it requires limited or no negotiation then it may turn out to be a cause of frustration and delay. It is not promoted by Gateshead conveyancing practitioners as a result. The other main issue is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted buyer is extremely unlikely to secure an injunctive ruling by a court to bar the seller completing the sale to an alternative purchaser, so the only remedy open via the contract will be the reimbursement of wasted costs and, in limited circumstances, the extra payment of penalties.
