REQUIREMENTS FOR PURCHASE/SALE AGREEMENT

General:

  • A purchase/sale agreement expressly states the terms and conditions of a real estate transaction.
  • Before preparing the agreement, we advise you to conduct a title search to confirm that the property is not mortgaged or encumbered in any way, that it is not engaged in any legal matters and that it is indeed in the name of the Seller.
  • It is also advisable to obtain an escrow agent, who is a trusted third party who will hold the funds in his account until the conditions of the agreement are met. To this end, the interests of both parties are safeguarded.
  • We provide both escrow services and title searches for an additional fee.

Requirements:

  • Full name and address of the Seller and Buyer
  • Copy of title (conveyance, land certificate, certificate of title, etc. )
  • Copy of survey
  • Purchase Price
  • Payment Plan (e.g. down payment, monthly payments, number of years and interest rates)
  • Copy of land tax statement and receipt
  • How defaults should be dealt with (e.g. grace period, cancellation of agreement, etc.)
  • Special Clauses or Additional Information
