First thing to note is that the email from surveymonkey doesn't give the deadline for voting. (It is however on the activity tab at AC when one logs in to see what the proposed options are.)
My understanding is that the intent was to sell into the healthcare market, at a premium to the price achievable in the residential market. Reading between the lines, my interpretation is that the lower number of buyers in the healthcare market means that it takes longer (on average) to sell properties, and the borrower is now redirecting to the residential market to achieve quicker sales. However since the LTV is low the lower price achieved doesn't matter to us, so providing AC unsuspend the loan for anyone who wants their money now, there's nothing objectionable about the borrower's proposal for a short extension at an increased interest rate.

In the Marketing Agents letter of April 2015 Plot1 was priced at 330k the price on the link provided by AC to the same Marketing Agents web site says 365k. Not sure if the site is just hype as it also says the property is 'sold'
It's sad that we're being bribed with a 1.5%pa rate rise (to 12%), I think they've persuaded me.

On those terms, I'm happy to agree to an extension. The borrowers that get up my nose are the ones who want lenders to do them a favour by granting an extension but who offer nothing at all in return -- and might not even offer to keep interest payments up during the extension.

I think this is fair as he appears to be going for an increase in value and we're being given an increase too. Assuming a sale can be done at this price.
