I believe that under the Consumer Credit Code it is illegal to provide credit to an undischarged brankrupt.

It may just be possible that your prospective buyer is still an undischarged bankrupt. If he/she is still undischarged you could still proceed with a lease/option or maybe even the new Licence to Occupy/option. Of course, only after you have done the due diligence suggested by the previous poster, concerning the circumstances of the bankruptcy.

Hi

Unless you have written in the “option” that the purchaser of the option is responsible for this type of cost, then you will be responsible for this bill.

All the best, Paul
