The owners of the home we are purchasing have appointed a conveyancing firm in Bramford who has insisted on a exclusivity agreement with a down payment 6,000. Are such agreements sensible?

This kind of agreement is unusual in Bramford, conveyancers are often found to direct clients away from them as they detract from the primary objective, namely conveyancing and if you end up losing your deposit then the solicitor is left exposed. Secondly, there is no assurance that just because the owner has entered into an exclusivity contract they will complete the sale with you. They may breach the agreement if they receive sufficient incentive to do so because a wronged purchaser with the benefit of a exclusivitycontract will still have to show losses as a consequence of the breach and these may not equalise the financial benefit that your vendor may secure by reneging on the contract, however morally unworthy it undoubtedly is.

Provided that the lawyer is on the mortgage company approved list, she or he must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
