DEVELOPMENT VALUE COVENANT- CLAWBACK

Brief detail:

The'Clawback' means the excess (if any) of the enhanced value of the property . The purpose of this schedule is to identify increases in the value of the property resulting from the removal or variation of the occupancy restriction affecting the property within the development period of 20 years and provide a proportion of this increase to be paid to the buyer.

In the case of the removal or variation of the occupancy restriction the amount to be paid by the buyer (or subsequent owner) shall be 50% (fifty per cent) of the increase in the value of the property if removal or restriction of the occupancy clause arises during the development period of 20 years. The amount of increase is calculated by assessing the value of the property (which is the date of subsequent sale or other disposal by the buyer) and deducting the value and the costs incurred by the purchaser or the purchasers successors in title in achieving the removal or variation of the occupancy clause restriction.

INSPECTION Strictly by appointment with the agents to whom all offers should be made. Please note a joint agency exists with PF&K North Lakes Property, Keswick office.
