The owners have very pushy sellers who has suggested a lock out contract with a non-refundable deposit of 5k. Are such agreements sensible?

This form of contract is unusual in Ormesby, conveyancers are not keen on them as they detract from the primary objective, namely conveyancing and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the lawyer at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. Secondly, there is no certainty that just because the vendor has signed an exclusivity agreement they will complete the sale with you. They may be in contravention of the contract if they are offered sufficient incentive to do so because an aggrieved buyer with the benefit of a lockoutcontract will still be legally obliged to establish consequential losses from the breach and these may not amount to the extra amount that the owner may secure by breaching the agreement, however morally reprehensible it undoubtedly is.
