A contract of sale is a legally binding document. When you sign it, you agree to be bound by the conditions it contains. The contract will describe exactly what it is you are buying, and what your obligations will be. Having a professional read over your contract prior to purchasing means you will know what it is you are agreeing to, any potential problems with the property, and most importantly, exactly what it is you are actually buying. Having professional advice means you will also be able to protect your best interests, as you will be able to set out conditions of your own to be included in your negotiations. Only around 20% of contracts and/ or vendors statements we review are completely straightforward without any issues or special conditions that clients will need to know about. If you have already signed and are in your cooling off period, having your contract of sale formally reviewed can help you identify any pitfalls while there is still time to get out.
You do not need to appoint us to have your contract reviewed. This service can be accessed at any time, and once you’re ready to proceed you can feel confident knowing your contract is thoroughly understood. In addition reviewing your contract of sale, we will clearly explain how to make an offer, what clauses to add to protect you for finance or building inspections, and answer any other questions you may have.
