To pass SQE2 candidates will need to obtain the overall pass mark for SQE2 .  \nThis sample question and discussion of answer is an example of a legal writing assessment. This is a computer-based assessment and candidates will have 30 minutes to complete the task.  \nFor further detail see the SQE2 Assessment Specification.  \nPlease note that the sample questions are provided to give an indication of the type of tasks that candidates could be set. They do not represent all the material that will be covered in  \nSQE2 .  \nFuture questions may not take exactly the same format.  \nQuestion and additional candidate papers  \nFrom: Partner  \nSent: 23 May 202\\#  \nTo: Candidate  \nSubject: Mrs Sonia Lowe – Purchase of 43 Hill Road, Woking GU22 3KL  \nI am acting for Mrs Sonia Lowe in the purchase of 43 Hill Road, Woking GU22 3KL for £300,000 from Mr Johan Pudsey. Contracts were exchanged a few weeks ago and Mrs Lowe paid a deposit of £30,000, now held by Mr Pudsey’s solicitors. The contract incorporates the Standard Conditions of Sale (Fifth Edition – 2018 Revision) with no amendments or special conditions, other than inclusion of 30 May 202\\# asthe completion date and a contract rate of 5% .  \nMrs Lowe is buying the property without a mortgage by using her own funds and does not have a dependent sale. Mr Pudsey has told her he has no related purchase and has already vacated 43 Hill Road, having moved to another house he already owns.  \nIn anticipation of completion on 30 May, I sent Mrs Lowe a completion statement but early this morning she phoned me in some distress. She cannot complete on 30 May because her funds are within a managed investment portfolio requiring 21 days’notice to sell the necessary stock units to release the money she requires.  \nShe thought she had given sufficient notice to the fund manager, but an administrative error means her money will not be available for us to complete until 5 June.  \nUnderstandably, our client is worried that if she does not complete on 30 May, Mr Pudsey can withdraw from the sale but keep her deposit.  \nI explained to Mrs Lowe the contractual position if she cannot complete the purchase on 30 May. However, she was so upset that I do not think she was able to appreciate fully what I told her. I therefore promised to write a letter to her explaining the likely consequences of not completing on 30 May so that she understands her position.  \nIn her distress, Mrs Lowe asked me if I could give confirmation that the completion money will be forthcoming on 5 June, as she thought on that basis it might be possible to persuade Mr Pudsey to complete on 30 May.  \nUnfortunately, I have been called to deal with another urgent matter, so I need you to write the letter for me.  \nI would like you to explain the following to Mrs Lowe:  \n• The legal implications for her if she does not complete the purchase on 30 May;  \n• What action Mr Pudsey is likely to take to protect his position if Mrs Lowe cannot complete on 30 May and what the consequences of such action are for her; and  \n• Why it will not be possible to complete on 30 May with confirmation from me that the completion money will be forthcoming on 5 June.  \nMrs Lowe is not a lawyer, so it is important that your explanation is clear and simple. However, she is intelligent and astute and will insist on understanding everything, so you will need to provide brief legal explanations where appropriate.  \nI attach a copy of the Standard Conditions of Sale (Fifth Edition – 2018 Revision) for you to refer to.  \nThanks  \nPartner  \nATTACHMENT:  \nStandard Conditions of Sale (Fifth Edition – 2018 Revision)  \nNote to Candidates:  \nPlease assume that all issues in relation to client care/money laundering have already been dealt with by the partner.
