Far from it really, a developer will never include such a clause in the contracts they draw up and will more often than not refuse a purchaser's request to insert one. Vendors of a second hand properties usually accept such a request, but they are by no means obliged to.

In a supply constrained market developers continue to include this as standard. They hold the cards, if a potential purchaser isn't prepared to commit, then they offer it to someone else or the house doesn't get built.
