The owners have very assertive sellers who has insisted on a lock out agreement with a non-refundable deposit 10k. Are such contracts appropriate for Harton conveyancing transactions?
This type of arrangement is not the norm in Harton, conveyancers are often inclined to veer clients away from them as they detract from focusing on the primary objective, namely conveyancing and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the solicitor at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that just because the seller has signed an exclusivity agreement they will sell to you. They may be inclined to break the agreement if they receive sufficient incentive to do so because an aggrieved party with the benefit of a lockout agreement will still be legally obliged to establish consequential losses from the breach and these may not equalise the financial upside that the owner may gain by reneging on the agreement, no matter how morally condemnable the behaviour is.
How does conveyancing in Harton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Harton come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because developers in Harton usually purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Harton or who has acted in the same development.
