We have very assertive sellers who has insisted on a lock out contract with a deposit 6,000. Are such agreements promoted for Pentwyn conveyancing transactions?
This kind of agreement is not the norm in Pentwyn, conveyancers are often inclined to veer clients away from them as they detract from the primary objective, namely conveyancing and if you end up losing your deposit then the lawyer at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that just because the seller has executed an exclusivity agreement they will complete the sale with you. They may be in contravention of the agreement if they receive a big enough financial inducement to do so because an aggrieved party with the benefit of a lockout agreement will still be obliged establish consequential losses from the breach and this may not equalise the extra amount that your seller may obtain by breaking the contract, however morally condemnable it undoubtedly is.
