We have very pushy vendors who has recommended a exclusivity agreement with a down payment 10k. Are such arrangements appropriate for Brentford conveyancing transactions?

This kind of arrangement is not the norm in Brentford, conveyancers will often direct clients away from them as they detract from focusing on the main conveyancing focus and if you end up losing your deposit then the solicitor is left exposed. Secondly, there is no guarantee that just because the seller has entered into an exclusivity agreement they will complete the sale with you. They may be in contravention of the contract if they receive sufficient financial inducement to do so because a wronged claimant with the benefit of a lockout agreement will still be duty bound to show losses as a consequence of the breach and this may not equate the extra amount that your vendor may gain by breaching the contract, however morally reprehensible that may be.
