The dwelling at the property was the deceased's main residence. The size of the dwelling is less than 2ha. The property was listed for sale. The property was initially put up for auction. However, there were no serious offers received before the auction therefore no contracts were entered. As a matter of fact, there was no one turned up at the auction. Following negotiations, in 20yy, the executors entered a Call Option Deed (the Deed) with the Purchaser. The Call Option to purchase the property was the first serious offer. The Purchaser proposed the "Call Option" to make appropriate enquiries and seek approvals prior to executing the purchase agreement. Once the Call Option Deed was signed the executors were prohibited from selling the property to anyone else. The property was proceeded to sale when the Purchaser exercised the Call Option. The settlement on the property was completed more than 2 years after the date of death.
