We have very assertive sellers who has suggested a exclusivity contract with a deposit of 5k. Are such agreements sensible?
This form of preliminary agreement is unusual in Wanstead, conveyancers are not keen on them as they detract from focusing on the main conveyancing focus and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the lawyer is left exposed. Furthermore, there is no certainty that just because the owner has signed an exclusivity agreement they will complete the sale with you. They may be inclined to break the agreement if they receive sufficient financial inducement to do so because an aggrieved claimant with the benefit of a exclusivitycontract will still be legally obliged to establish consequential losses from the breach and this may not amount to the financial upside that the owner may gain by breaking the agreement, no matter how morally shameful it undoubtedly is.
