Sorry but that's not how English Contract Law works.

If Ben Bailey offerred to pay £6m say but the land in now only worth £2m due to the collapse of the housing market you cannot enforce a Contract that is against the financial interest of the purchaser. You will only get what the land is worth now.

You have the option to either accept the current value or you can keep any deposit or option fee that you will have been paid and look for another purchaser.

And you lot on here have a go at me for picking the negatives out of your plans.

There is a difference in picking negatives for the sake of it and being factual.

to the races?

no , dont think LEEDS CITY COUNCIL would allow it

Not their decision.

I may be wrong but I thought their concerns had been addressed by YorkCourt.

i believe both parties will be pleased to have rapped up the deal,for whats its worth im led to believe the land is now worth slightly more than the original sale value but it was in our interest and ben bailey homes to do the deal now rather than let the buying option run out in 12 months time. we could have got a little more and ben bailey will also have been keen has their were 4 other bidders ready to pounce when the option had run out.

Thats good news for you. Surprised that its worth more than the original sale price - certainly bucked the trend of all other housing land in Yorkshire that has more than halved in value. You must have a slick negotiator.

Best of luck with the Stadium and hope to continue our derby games at Glasshougton and Newmarket.

Either that or the deal was an absolute shocker the first time around

Well according to some the original sale was under value in order to get it done quickly, which is probably why it's worth more now.

You do make me chuckle!



Good luck with it!
