Hi Team, I have entered a Sales Agency Agreement with an agent who used a modified Sales Agency Agreement.

As part of this agreement, no where in the agreement is it mentioned

- whether the agent has authority to accept an offer for the land on behalf of the vendor

I believe it is a requirement under Section 20 (2) of the
Land and Business (Sale and Conveyancing) Act 1994 to have this in the Sales Agency Agreement.

As the agent has not included this in my Sales Agency Agreement, does this make the agreement null and void?

Many Thanks for your assistance,

David
