We have rather pushy vendors who has recommended a lock out contract with a non-refundable deposit of 5k. Are such agreements sensible?
This type of arrangement is unusual in Hurst Green, conveyancers are not keen on them as they detract from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up losing your deposit then the solicitor is left exposed. Secondly, there is no certainty that just because the proprietor has signed a lock out contract they will complete the sale with you. They may be tempted to break the agreement if they receive sufficient incentive to do so because an aggrieved purchaser with the benefit of a exclusivitycontract will still have to establish consequential losses from the breach and this may not equate the financial benefit that the owner may obtain by breaking the contract, no matter how morally unworthy the behaviour is.

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Hurst Green registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. At present approximately 80% of submission are completed within 12 days but some can be subject to extensive delays. Historically registration takes place after the buyer is living at the premises thus registration formalities is not always an essential issue yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
