Method of sale


7 The Priory is offered for sale by Formal Tender (unless sold prior).

The deadline date for the submission of tenders is Wednesday 9th December 2026 at 12 noon and all tenders must be submitted to Luscombe Maye Offices of 3 Fore Street, Modbury, PL21 0QW in a sealed envelope clearly marked '7 The Priory’.

Buyers who wish to submit a tender will be required to complete and sign the tender form and provide any supporting documentation as detailed within the Legal Pack available from the solicitor acting for the seller (see Legal Pack below).

Any tender by the deadline date received will be subject to contract. Prospective purchasers should be aware that upon acceptance of their tender offer, a 10% deposit of the agreed sale price will be payable to the agent acting for the seller (or via their own solicitor), within 24 hours of written acceptance of their offer; failure to do so may result in the tender being rejected.

Should a tender be acceptable to the seller and the 10% deposit received within the time frame outlined above, this will then constitute an exchange of contracts and be treated as a binding contract and legal completion and payment of the balance of the purchase price will follow approximately 28 days later or by the time frame set out in the legal pack.

If the deposit is failed to be presented by the successful tender, then the Formal Tender Conditions will not be met and this will result in the tender being rejected.

Moreover, the successful purchaser will be liable to pay the sum of £3000, plus VAT, as an administration fee in addition to their tender price on completion.

Please note, the seller does not undertake to accept the highest or any of the offers and the seller reserves the right to withdraw, alter or amend the way in which the property is offered for sale.
