HiEquity,
You are trying to do the impossible. Sales always trump leases.
This is the heirachy of power in a sale : Seller 98% Buyer 2%
This is the heirachy of power in a lease : Owner 98% Tenant 2%
Trouble is, the Seller has all the power in the major game, and then becomes the patsy in the minor game. You are the patsy in the major game, and then transmogrify into the powerhouse in the minor game.
It doesn't matter though. Until the Seller is 100% satisfied, you as the Buyer never get to play the minor game. Of course, the Seller ensures that all of the nasty clauses are removed, and in fact if they are smart write the entire Lease themselves all to their advantage and wait for a sucker Buyer to come along.
Of course, the icing on the cake is that they ask a high price and then refuse to budge on price.
As a Buyer in this type of transaction, you are on a hiding to nowhere.
