We run a property development company and have a number of sites where we offer property owners a no win no fee on getting planning permission or a few other options and need a contract which covers this.
We also need to ensure:-
1) They comply fully with the service. 2) They do not sell the property while we are doing it 3) We are given a set time to do the work (normally 2 years) 4) That they own the property and have the right to apply for planning 5) That we are not liable if we do not get planning or if we make it more difficult for him to get planning in the future ie if we are declined for planning 6) We do not guarantee to get them planning permission 7) That they have consulted a solicitor themselves (if this is needed to make it legally binding) 8) That they don't know of anything which might cause us not to get planning permission 9) That they will not obstruct the planning permission or oppose it 10) All information is confidential, copyrighted and must not be disclosed to any other person 11) The address and title plan of the property attached 12) A first option to purchase the property if we decide at market value?? 13) They must give us all information requested 14) They must not do anything to block the planning process or permission 15) They give us the right to apply for planning permission and do things to get the planning permission on their behalf 16) We can have free access to visit the site when requested and bring other people on site without opposition 17) They will not apply for planning permission themselves in this or cause anything which stops the process or causes issues. 18) We can choose / change the layouts and designs and these may not always add the most value to a site.
