Overage agreements

Approach

Our team of property solicitors will guide you through the legal and practical issues that arise when negotiating or becoming bound by an overage agreement.

Whether you are a seller benefiting from overage, or a buyer is subjected to its terms and conditions, our solicitors will ensure that a legally-accurate, correctly-documented overage agreement is in place to protect your interests.

Our advice will include guidance on:

  • When the overage should become payable
  • Whether the payment will be a fixed sum or a percentage of the enhanced value of the land
  • What deductions may be offset against the increase in the value of the land
  • Whether the overage takes effect on one single occasion or against any further future development
  • How the overage will be protected
