Re Character Homes Ltd
Several years ago we acted on the acquisition of a greenfield site by Character Homes Ltd, a major player in the U.K. building industry. The acquisition was financed by Modern Finance Ltd who took a first fixed charge on the site together with a floating charge over the company's assets. Character Homes Ltd has recently begun developing the site and is in the course of constructing 30 freehold detached houses. It has instructed us to act on the sale of the individual plots.
Please prepare a memo listing and explaining the items we should send to each buyer's solicitors.
