I have signed a contract to buy a house, with the usual special conditions of valuation, building and pest inspection.
The vendor has countersigned, but has added another special condition after my signature relating to them occupying the house for a week after settlement, and paying me rent. They have then countersigned the special conditions page under this extra special condition.
If I choose not to accept this extra condition, does that make the whole contract null and void, or should I proceed with inspections, valuations etc?
I've asked my lawyer this question but I'd be interested to know if anyone else has ever been in this situation?
Thanks
JB
