18. It is David Wilson Homes’ intention that if by the PXX Date your solicitor has not served a notice as referred to under clause 14.2 BDW Trading Limited will purchase your existing home and take legal title to it prior to selling it on to a third party, to allow you to purchase a new David Wilson home. If you withdraw from the transaction and David Wilson Homes has found a prospective buyer for your home, David Wilson Homes will not make an introduction between you and the prospective buyer.

19. Solicitors will ask that you complete the Property Information Questionnaire and Form (PIQ/PIF). As David Wilson Homes has no firsthand knowledge of your existing home the company will have to use these same PIQ/ PIF forms for presentation to a subsequent purchaser for your existing home. You confirm that you will complete these forms accurately and acknowledge that a future purchaser will rely upon your answers and that legal action may be taken against you if you are found to have given false information.

20. Your solicitor will be obliged to supply title details and other supporting document in relation to your property to our solicitor prior to exchange of the Sale Agreement. If you accept an offer from a third party for the sale of your property your solicitor will also need to supply a draft agreement, title and supporting documents to the solicitor acting for that party
