The
vendor
from
the
previous
question
has
refused
to
give
proof
of
Council
Approval
of
the
granny
flat,
meaning
they
will
not
except
the
buyers
offer.
Q.How
would
you
respond
to
the
vendor
and
negotiate
with
them
to
achieve
the
best
outcome?
Mention
any
communication
strategies
you
would
use.
|
would
respond
to
the
vendor
by
stating
that
obtaining
council
approval
is
an
essential
step
in
the
process
of
constructing
a
granny
flat,
and
that
the
buyer’s
offer
cannot
be
accepted
unless
the
buyer
can
provide
confirmation
that
they
have
obtained
council
approval.
|
would
then
proceed
to
discuss
the
advantages
of
producing
proof
of
council
approval,
including
how
this
will
ensure
that
the
granny
flat
is
safe,
complies
with
building
rules,
and
increases
the
value
of
the
property.
|
would
also
like
to
bring
to
their
attention
that
the
buyer
has
provided
a
reasonable
price
for
the
property,
and
that
it
would
be
to
their
advantage
to
provide
evidence
that
the
council
has
approved
the
project.
In
order
to
successfully
negotiate
with
the
supplier,
|
would
use
communication
that
is
both
open
and
honest
to
highlight
the
significance
of
Council
Approval
and
the
benefits
that
it
will
bring.
|
would
not
back
down
from
my
stance,
but
at
the
same
time,
|
would
take
into
account
their
worries
and
be
willing
to
compromise
wherever
it
was
possible.
In
addition
to
this,
|
would
pay
close
attention
to
the
seller
and
make
certain
that
they
comprehend
the
significance
of
obtaining
council
approval
as
well
as
the
factors
that
must
be
met
in
order
for
the
buyer's
offer
to
be
considered.
In
general,
|
would
like
to
achieve
a
win-win
situation
by
reaching
an
arrangement
that
is
favorable
to
both
the
buyer
and
the
seller
and
that
satisfies
their
requirements.
