There are two main drawbacks with signing a lock out contract (occasionally termed a shut-out contract) is that it diverts attention away from moving forward with the conveyancing transaction itself, so unless it requires limited or no negotiation then it could transpire to be a hindrance. It is not particularly popular amongst Birkenshaw conveyancing solicitors as a result.

My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the agent has warned us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we use the agent's preferred conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’.
