Understanding Sale and Purchase Agreements

Why it matters

The Sale and Purchase Agreement is one of the most important legal documents in any property transaction. Before signing, it's important to understand exactly what you're agreeing to.

Common clauses may include

  • Finance conditions
  • Building inspection conditions
  • LIM report conditions
  • Settlement dates
  • Deposit requirements
  • Chattels included in the sale

Even small details can have significant legal and financial consequences.
