The vendors of the house we are hoping to buy have instructed a conveyancing firm in Mossley who has recommended a exclusivity agreement with a deposit of 5k. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?

This form of contract is not the norm in Mossley, conveyancers are often found to veer clients away from them as they divert attention from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up losing your deposit then the lawyer is left exposed. Secondly, there is no guarantee that just because the seller has signed an exclusivity contract they will sell to you. They may breach the contract if they are offered a big enough financial inducement to do so because a wronged buyer with the benefit of a lockout agreement will still be legally obliged to establish consequential losses from the breach and this may not compare to the financial upside that your vendor may obtain by breaking the contract, no matter how morally unworthy the behaviour is.
