Option, Overage and Clawback Agreements
Sale contracts can be conditional on some event occurring within a specified time. Often the condition is the buyer obtaining planning permission to develop or change the use of the property. If the condition is satisfied, the seller and buyer are committed to proceeding. Options are more one sided; the buyer can decide whether or not it wants to buy, within the option period. For capital gains tax purposes in such cases, the disposal occurs when a conditional contract becomes unconditional, or when an option is exercised – so tax planning in advance is important. “Overage” or “clawback” agreement, by which sellers reserve the right to share in future increases in the value of a property (e.g. on the grant of planning permission), are becoming increasingly common.
