6.1.1 the relevant Vendor Agency or the vendor has paid all general and water rates due by them as owner or occupier to the possession date. If the water charges are determined by meter the vendor will on or immediately after the possession date have the water meter read and shall pay the amount of the charge payable pursuant to that reading but if the territorial authority shall not make special readings the water charges shall be apportioned;

(c) the territorial authority has not issued any notice under section 45 (4) of the Act to the vendor or to any agent of the vendor or to the relevant Vendor Agency which has not been disclosed in writing to the purchaser, which could entitle the territorial authority to issue such a notice;

6.1.13 in respect of any property for which, at the date of this agreement, no certificate of title has been issued, all easements, rights or other interest as may reasonably be required to ensure enjoyment of the property for its current use will be registered against the new certificate when it is issued. The location and terms of any agreement shall not be settled without the approval of the purchaser which may not be unreasonably withheld; and

If the purchaser does elect that settlement shall still take place on the original possession date, such election shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights under paragraph 7.1.2(b) to a proper apportionment of outgoings.

8 NOTICE TO COMPLETE AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT

8.1 If the sale is not settled on the possession date either party may at any time thereafter (unless the contract has first been cancelled or become void) serve on the other party notice in writing (hereinafter called a settlement notice) to settle in accordance with this clause; but the notice shall be effective only if the party serving it is at the time of service either in all material respects ready able and willing to proceed to settle in accordance with the notice or is not so ready able and willing to settle only by reason of the default or omission of the other party to the contract. If the purchaser is in possession a settlement notice may incorporate or be given with a notice under section 50 of the Property Law Act 1952.

8.2 Upon service of a settlement notice the party on whom the notice is served shall settle within 12 Business Days after the date of service of the notice (excluding the day of service) and in respect of that period time shall be of the essence but without prejudice to any intermediate right of cancellation by either party. If the settlement notice is served between the 6th day of December and the 20th day of January next following then (unless the notice expires before the 24th day of December in that period) the party on whom the notice is served shall settle within 12 Business Days after the date of service of the notice (excluding the day of service) or on the 1st Business Day after the 20th day of January next following the date of service (whichever is the later) time being of the essence, but without prejudice to any intermediate right of cancellation by either party.

8.3 If the purchaser does not comply with the terms of the settlement notice served by the vendor then:

8.3.1 without prejudice to any other rights or remedies available to the vendor at law or in equity the vendor may:

(a) sue the purchaser for specific performance; or

(b) cancel the contract and sue the purchaser for damages;

8.3.2 where a vendor is entitled to cancel the contract the entry by the vendor into a conditional or unconditional contract for the resale of the property or any part thereof by the vendor shall take effect as a cancellation of the contract by the vendor if the contract has not previously been cancelled and such resale shall be deemed to have occurred after cancellation;

8.3.3 the damages claimable by the vendor under paragraph 8.3.1(b) shall include all damages claimable at common law or in equity and shall also include (but shall not be limited to) any loss incurred by the vendor on any bona fide resale contracted within 1 year from the date by which the purchaser shall settle in compliance with the settlement notice. The amount of that loss may include:

(a) interest on the unpaid portion of the purchase price at the interest rate for late settlement from the settlement date to the settlement of such resale;

(b) all costs and expenses reasonably incurred in any resale or attempted resale;

(c) all outgoings (other than interest) on or maintenance expenses in respect of the property from the settlement date to the settlement of such resale; and

(d) all reasonable costs incurred in agreeing or having determined the purchase price under the Deed; and

8.3.4 any surplus money arising from a resale as aforesaid shall be retained by the vendor.

8.4 If the vendor does not comply with the terms of a settlement notice served by the purchaser then the purchaser without prejudice to any other rights or remedies available to the purchaser at law or in equity may:

8.4.1 sue the vendor for specific performance; or

8.4.2 without prejudice to any right of the purchaser to damages give notice in writing to the vendor cancelling the contract and requiring the vendor forthwith to repay to the purchaser any deposit and any other money paid on account of the purchase price and interest on such sum(s) at the interest rate for late settlement from the date or dates of payment by the purchaser until repayment. Any claim for damages shall include all reasonable costs incurred by the purchaser in agreeing or having determined the purchase price under the Deed.

8.5 The party serving a settlement notice may at the request or with the consent of the other party extend the term of the notice for one or more specifically stated periods of time and thereupon the term of the settlement notice shall be deemed to expire on the last day of the extended period or periods and it shall operate as though this clause stipulated the extended period(s) of notice in lieu of the period otherwise applicable; and time shall be of the essence of the contract accordingly. An extension may be given either before or after the expiry of the period of the notice.

8.6 Nothing in this clause shall preclude a party from suing for specific performance without giving a settlement notice.

8.7 A party who served a settlement notice under this clause shall not be in breach of an essential term by reason only of that party's failure to be ready and able to settle upon the expiry of that notice.

9 NON-MERGER

9.1 The agreements, obligations and warranties of the parties in this agreement shall not merge with the transfer of title to the property.

10 GENERAL

10.1 If there is more than one purchaser or vendor, the liability of the purchasers or of the vendors, as the case may be, is joint and several.

10.2 The purchaser may, by giving written notice in writing to the vendor not later than 5 Business Days before the possession date, nominate another person to whom the property shall be transferred but the purchaser shall at all times remain liable for all obligations on the part of the purchaser under this agreement and shall be responsible for all stamp duty payable on any nomination agreement and on the transfer to the nominee.

11 TITLE

11.1 If a certificate or certificates of title for the property has or have not been issued under the Land Transfer Act 1952, then the vendor shall, prior to the possession date, procure the deposit with the relevant District Land Registrar of a survey plan and the vendor shall thereupon arrange for the issue of fee simple certificates of title for the property under the Land Transfer Act 1952.

11.2 The vendor shall use reasonable endeavours to ensure that all easements, rights or other interests as may be reasonably required to ensure enjoyment by the purchaser of the property for its current use are registered against the new certificate or certificates of titles to issue.

11.3 The vendor shall carry out or shall procure that the relevant Vendor Agency carries out all such work as may be required to satisfy any conditions of the local authority to the deposit of the relevant plan.
