21
Q

Why did you do a letter of intent for 43 Bath Street?

A

My client had a strict time schedule for completion and wanted to tender negotiations and the acquisition of the building to overlap. This process took much longer than initially envisaged due to internal implications my client had to deal with. I requested the selected contractor hold their prices for a two month period and they informed me that they would only if a letter of intent was provided.
I advised my client that this should be drafted by their lawyers as their is the risk that they could take on unintended liabilities. I further noted that the negotiating power of the client will decrease. Lastly, this can become legally binding.
