The concern is that it would be foolish to take a negotiating position in which the landlord knows that the brief is to negotiate the best terms on one building, rather than knowing that the clients are looking at five different options. In this case, it might have looked at the redevelopment of Hawkins House, various blocks on the quays, the old Central Bank building and other possibilities. If TWM were sent out to negotiate the best terms it could, but the vendor or landlord knows that he or she is the only show in town, he or she will clean it out.
