Acorn Developments plc (‘Acorn’) has instructed your firm in connection with the proposed
purchase of a four-acre plot of land in Luton from Landspec Ltd (‘Landspec’). Acorn intends
to use the land for the construction of 15 houses to be sold as luxury homes. Your
investigations have revealed the following:
(a) In November last year, Landspec granted Billings Tiles Ltd a right to exclusive
possession of an industrial unit on the plot for a period of three years in return for an annual
rent of £20,000. The parties had meant to formalise the agreement in a document but had
not got round to it, so it remained purely oral.
(b) In April 2013 Landspec completed the document below with Enrico Cortes whose land
adjoined the four-acre plot.

(c) Three years ago Landspec executed a deed granting Riley Bros., who operate a farm
machinery repair business next to the four acre plot, a right to use a drainage pipe across
the northern part of Landspec’s land until Landspec needed that area for development.
(d) Two months ago, Landspec entered into a written contract with Enrico Cortes for the sale
of a small field forming part of the four-acre site at a price of £40,000. Both parties signed
the contract and Enrico paid a deposit of £4,000 but no deed has been completed.
