Condition 6.5.1 does not apply to any documents of title relating to land being
retained by the seller after completion.

6.6

The buyer is to assume that whoever gave any receipt for a payment of rent or
service charge which the seller produces was the person or the agent of the
person then entitled to that rent or service charge.

6.7

 

Means of payment

The buyer is to pay the money due on completion by a direct transfer of cleared
funds from an account held in the name of a conveyancer at a clearing bank and,
if appropriate, an unconditional release of a deposit held by a stakeholder.

6.8

 

Notice to complete

6.8.1

 

At any time after the time applicable under condition 6.1.2 on completion date,
a party who is ready, able and willing to complete may give the other a notice
to complete.

6.8.2

(a)   If the buyer paid no deposit, he is forthwith to pay a deposit of 10
percent

REMEDIES

7.1

 

Errors and omissions

7.1.1

 

If any plan or statement in the contract, or in the negotiations leading to it,
is or was misleading or inaccurate due to an error or omission by the seller,
the remedies available to the buyer are as follows:

(a)   When there is a material difference between the description or value of
the property, or of any of the contents included in the contract, as represented
and as it is, the buyer is entitled to damages.

(b)  An error or omission only entails the buyer to rescind the contract:

(i)    where it results from fraud or recklessness, or

(ii)  

where he would be obliged, to his prejudice, to accept properly differing
substantially (in quantity, quality or tenure) from what the error or omission
had led him to expect.

7.1.2

 

If either party rescinds the contract:

(a)  unless the rescission is a result of the buyer’s breach of contract the
deposit is to be repaid to the buyer with accrued interest

(b)  the buyer is to return any documents he received from the seller and is to
cancel any registration of this contract.

7.2

 

Late completion

7.2.1

 

If there is default by either both of the parties in performing their
obligations under the contract and completion is delayed, the party whose total
period of default is the greater is to pay compensation to the other party.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7.2.2

 

Compensation is calculated at the contract rate on an amount equal to the
purchase price, less (where the buyer is the paying party) any deposit paid, for
the period by which the paying party’s default exceeds that of the receiving
party, or, if shorter, the period between completion date and actual completion.

7.2.3

 

Any claim for loss resulting from delayed completion is to be reduced by any
compensation paid under this contract.

7.2.4

 

Where the buyer holds the property as tenant of the seller and completion is
delayed, the seller may give notice to the buyer, before the date of actual
completion, that he intends to take the net income from the property until
completion.  If he does so, he cannot claim compensation under condition 7.2.1
as well.

7.3

 

After completion

Completion does not cancel liability to perform any outstanding obligation under
this contract.

following terms apply.

Instructions to the seller

and the buyer

This form must be completed accurately by the seller. It may become part of the
contract between the seller and the buyer.

The seller should make a clear statement of what is included in the sale of the
property by marking each box in this form with a ▲or a X, as shown below:

 

 

 

Included in the sale of the property  ▲

 

Not included in the sale of the property  X

 

 

 

The seller may be prepared to sell to the buyer an item which is otherwise not
included in the sale of the property. In this case, the seller should mark the
appropriate box with a X to show the item is not included, followed by the
amount that the seller wishes to be paid for the item, as shown below.

 

 

 

Not included in the sale of the property  X(amount)

 

 

 

The buyer can then decide whether to accept the seller’s offer. The seller and
buyer should inform their solicitors of any arrangements made about items
offered for sale in this way.

If the seller removes any fixtures and fittings, the seller must make good any
damage caused by their removal.

If the seller removes a light fitting, it is assumed that the seller will
replace the fitting with a ceiling rose and socket, a flex, bulb holder and
bulb.

The seller is responsible for removing any possessions, including rubbish, from
the property, the garage, the garden and any outbuildings or sheds.

The seller and the buyer should check the information given on the form
carefully.
