This will need to be carried out within a specified period of time, to be agreed by solicitors. The current owners have had a quote from a local contractor that would indicate the cost of this to be in the region of £20,000-£25,000. 3) The vendors will only sell the building land to a separate buyer if the purchaser of the main house does not wish to purchase as a whole.
