All Topics / Legal & Accounting / Invisible Deed of Option Contract
Hello,
Does anybody have experience controlling properties with call options? I'm looking for a definitive answer as to whether it is possible to conceal the exercise price of the option from the ultimate purchaser? For example, if i control a forced sale with a market value of say 440, at 400 and want to assign the option for 425, how can i shuffle the documents so that the ultimate purchaser doesn't have to be informed the 15k difference between the two? The bottom line is that everybody is happy, seller has their money and purchaser is getting a property below market, it just stings that i have to prove my worth to the end purchaser and justify my cut. It just makes the whole transaction sticky.
I've heard of one technique where i give them a contract for sale of land rather than the option deed. How could this be possible without paying stamp duty that would strip 98% of the profits anyway?
Any help, comments or feedback would be greatly grealt appreciated.
Regards,
