There are two main concerns with executing a lock out contract (sometimes known as a shut-out contract) is that it can distract from moving forward with the conveyancing transaction itself, so in the absence of it needing limited or no negotiation then it may transpire to be a cause of frustration and delay. It is not promoted by Helmsley conveyancing lawyers as a result. The other main concern is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted buyer is extremely unlikely to obtain an injunctive ruling by a court to prohibit the owner selling to another buyer, so the only remedy available under the contract will be the reimbursement of abortive charges and, in restricted circumstances, the extra payment of penalties.

Your must comply with the CML Handbook Part 2 specifications for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
