We have rather pushy vendors who has suggested a lock out contract with a deposit two thousand pounds. Are such agreements sensible?
Lock out agreements are agreements between a property owner and purchaser granting the buyer exclusive rights to purchase the property for a set period of time. For all intents and purposes, a lock out agreement is a contract stating that you will receive a contract at a later date being the contract for the actual sale. It tends to be used for buyer assurance though in many situations, the vendor may enjoy an upside from such agreements as well. There are numerous positives and negatives to using an agreement but you need to check with your lawyer but note that it may end up costing you more in conveyancing charges. For this these contracts are avoided when it comes to conveyancing in Kimbolton.
