Memo No. Rajuk/Estate/4174/Stha dated 07.12.03 issued by RAJUK accepting the said IGPA has been submitted. Please note that we have not provided with any Development Agreement executed between the landowners and developer showing their sharing arrangement in the project.

a.       3000 square feet floor space – Tk. 1,39,50,000.00 only @ Tk. 4650.00 per square feet

Summation of 3,000 square feet floor space and 03 car parking space is Tk. 1,48,50,000.00 (Taka one crore forty eight lac fifty thousand) only.

Tripartite Agreement executed on the year 2005 in between the developer and Mr. W and Prime Bank Limited has been submitted. This agreement was executed between the parties to meet up the amount agreed as the balance consideration of the floor space and car parking (the ‘property’). The tripartite agreement was executed as per the terms of the Sanction Letter dated 17.12.05 issued by the Prime Bank. It has been confirmed in the agreement inter alia that Prime Bank has provided credit facility of Tk. 100 lac to Mr. W who will create mortgage in favour of the lender upon registration of the property in his name.

In such situation Mr. A intends to purchase the property.
