11ant, are you actually a property developer yourself? This is not meant as an attack, but you could easily think so when reading you. The annoying thing is not that this developer doesn't want to be told what to do, but that he wants a signature on a contract without saying what you get for it. In this forum, people usually insist on checking every contract twice or thrice. Why should such a blank deal be appropriate in this case? I simply wouldn't do business with this company.
