Note that this building is heritage and needs a lot of repair works. The vendors understanding is that the property cannot and will not be demolished. The vendors have taken this in to consideration in their price as this work is an opportunity for someone with a skill set in repairs and renovations.

The land also needs to be subdivided before final land area will be known, this process is part of the negotiations.
