Q&As

A landowner is selling self-build serviced plots on a multi-unit site. The landowner will not be responsible for construction of the units. The construction will be undertaken by a third party building contractor under a separate agreement from the plot sale agreement. The buyer of each plot will be required under the plot sale agreement to enter into a building contract on or before completion of the plot sale to ensure consistency of development across the site. Will SDLT be due on the payments under the building contract as well as under the plot sale agreement?

Q&As

Pursuant to an agreement for lease, a landlord is constructing a building for the tenant and has provided collateral warranties to it from the professional team. The landlord is now intending to mortgage the freehold simultaneously with completion of the lease at practical completion. Does the landlord need to procure new collateral warranties in favour of the bank as presumably the tenant wouldn’t permit assignment of those in its favour? Also, there is a novation agreement attached to the consultant’s letter of appointment (allowing for novation to the contractor)—how will this sit with the lender?
