The owners have rather brash sellers who has suggested a exclusivity agreement with a deposit of 5k. Are such agreements sensible?
This form of contract is unusual in Par, conveyancers are often inclined to direct clients away from them as they detract from the primary focus, namely conveyancing and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the solicitor at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. Secondly, there is no certainty that just because the owner has signed an exclusivity agreement they will complete the sale with you. They may be in contravention of the contract if they are offered a big enough incentive to do so because a wronged buyer with the benefit of a exclusivity agreement will still be obliged show losses as a consequence of the breach and this may not equalise the extra amount that your seller may gain by breaching the agreement, no matter how morally shameful it undoubtedly is.

What is your number one tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Par
We would encourage you not to base your choice on the lowest Par conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

After the abolition of Home Information Packs, energy performance certificates was left as a required element of moving property.
