What is a Purchase Contract?
A purchase agreement is a legal contract for real estate or for the sale of any goods or services, it informs the seller and buyer about the terms and conditions of the transaction such as the payment amount, information about the property or product to be sold. This type of agreement is typically used for complex transactions that involve many steps and conditions such as a contract deposit then due diligence, inspection and then an application for a mortgage loan, etc.
It is recommended that you enter into a purchase agreement when you are buying any property that has a lot of fixtures and construction on it such as buildings and other facilities. You should also sign a purchase agreement when you buy a previously owned or used property.
Most of the legal documents related to real estate are required to be notarized to be deemed enforceable and valid under the law. Therefore, it is important that you appoint a notary to witness the contractual agreement and the signatures on the Purchase and sale agreement.
Generally, most purchase agreements remain valid for 2-3 days but the validation period might be shorter or longer than this depending on various factors. Therefore, It is recommended that you ask the seller how long he is willing to wait for the inspection and due diligence and if he is willing to wait for the mortgage application approval if there are any.
If the buyer has made a contract deposit and the seller has accepted it then the buyer will be transferred the rights to ownership after full payment provided that he has not violated any terms of the agreement.
The most important details on a purchase and sale agreement are regarding the property being sold such as its location, price, condition, size and other legal description. Along with this, the identity information of both parties and the payment terms and methods should also be clearly stated.
