Help to Buy sales
The commercial property team at Wellers Reece-Jones can help property developers with all aspects of Help to Buy sales, including compliance with government regulations and targets.
Option and development agreements
Option agreements give developers the option to purchase land (typically at an agreed sum) without the obligation to purchase the said piece of land in the event that planning permission cannot be obtained.
A development agreement is a voluntary agreement between a developer and a local authority that outlines the obligations of both parties in relation to the development of the property. The commercial property solicitors at Wellers Reece-Jones in Sevenoaks can bring clear and practical advice to clients in relation to both types of agreement.
Conditional contracts, joint ventures and overage agreements
Conditional contracts enable the purchase of a property contingent on certain conditions being satisfied – for example, the granting of planning permission. Joint Ventures are less common and involve landowners putting land into a venture in collaboration with a developer who supplies planning and building expertise, with any profits split between the two parties. An overage agreement is an agreement that the buyer will add a sum to supplement the original purchase price, if certain events happen – typically if planning permission is obtained following the initial sale.
At Wellers Reece-Jones we can help advise in relation to all of these types of agreements and more.
