We have very pushy sellers who has insisted on a exclusivity contract with a down payment 6,000. Are such agreements sensible?

There are a couple of primary concerns with signing a lock out contract (also termed an exclusivity agreement) is that it takes away the focus from progressing with the conveyancing transaction itself, so in the absence of it needing minimal or no negotiation then it could transpire to be a cause of frustration and delay. It is not strongly advocated amongst Abertillery conveyancing practitioners as a result. A further concern is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted purchaser should not expect to secure injunctive relief to prohibit the vendor selling to another buyer, so the only remedy open via the contract will be the reimbursement of wasted charges and, in rare circumstances, the extra payment of damages.
