Are you aware of the traps in collective sales and the potential problem with option agreements?

What are Option Agreements?

Option agreements are frequently used as a mechanism to facilitate collective sales of lots in a strata scheme.  Such option agreements (commonly called “Options”) provide a number of helpful mechanisms and tools to provide a degree of flexibility.

The Traps of Collective Sales Option Agreements

A recent decision of the Supreme Court of NSW has demonstrated that there can be traps for owners of strata lots who are using Options as part of a collective sale process.

The case provides helpful reminders about how options should be used in a collective sale process, and the matters to be aware of if lot owners are going to be properly protected in that process.
