What is an option agreement?
An option agreement is a legal contract between a landowner and a developer that grants the developer the exclusive right, but not the obligation, to purchase or lease the land at a future date. This right is usually tied to a triggering event, most commonly the grant of planning permission. Option agreements always include a defined time period during which the developer can exercise the option.
The buyer typically pays the landowner an option fee for this right. During the option period, the buyer often seeks planning permission or conducts due diligence. If they choose to proceed, they “exercise the option” and buy the land. If not, the option expires, and the landowner keeps the fee and the land.
Option agreement review service
Deciding to explore development potential on your land is a major decision that can impact your family for generations. If your land is desirable, developers may approach you to enter into an option agreement a contract giving them the chance to determine if development is feasible.
Despite legal representation, we often meet landowners with agreements that have stalled or include unfavorable terms, such as overly long option periods or inadequate compensation.
Prosperuum is here to help you regain control. Whether you’re about to enter or have already signed an option agreement, we provide impartial, expert advice to help you secure the best outcome for your land.
