Harriet Durn contributes to an Estates Gazette legal Q&A on contracts for purchase of development sites and resisting specific performance
min readHarriet Durn, Associate in our Real Estate Disputes team, contributes to an Estates Gazette legal Q&A on contracts for purchase of development sites and resisting specific performance.
The Q&A considers whether a purchaser of a development site can resist an order for specific performance where the seller’s ability to complete is dependent on a third party, such as a local authority. The scenario centres on a buyer who declined to complete after questioning whether the seller could secure the necessary third-party agreement within the required timeframe.
