The owners have rather pushy vendors who has recommended a lock out contract with a non-refundable deposit of 5k. Are such agreements sensible?

There are two primary concerns with executing a lock out contract (sometimes known as a shut-out contract) 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 turn out to be a cause of frustration and delay. It is not promoted amongst Bookham conveyancing lawyers as a result. The other main negative is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved purchaser is very unlikely to be issued with an injunction to bar the vendor disposing of the property to an alternative purchaser, so the only remedy open via the contract will be the recovery of abortive costs and, in restricted situations, the extra payment of penalties.
