Understanding the Sale & Purchase Agreement when buying a home
A sale and purchase agreement is a legally binding contract between you and the seller.
You must sign a written sale and purchase agreement when you buy a property. It sets out all the details, terms and conditions of the sale — this includes things such as the price, any chattels being sold with the property, whether the buyer needs to sell another property first and the settlement date.
You can negotiate the conditions in a sale and purchase agreement.
We as real estate agents help you and the seller to include the conditions you both want. Even though the we work for the seller, we also have to deal fairly and be transparent with the buyer.
We can’t withhold any information, and we must tell you about any known defects with the property.
Always check your sale and purchase agreement with a lawyer or conveyancer before signing. You need to read and understand the agreement before you sign it.
Before you sign a sale and purchase agreement, we must give you a copy of the REA New Zealand Residential Property Sale and Purchase Agreement Guide. We must also ask you to confirm in writing that you’ve received it.
A sale and purchase agreement becomes unconditional when all the conditions are met.
A sale and purchase agreement provides certainty to you and the seller about what will happen when.
You should always get legal advice before you sign the agreement and throughout the buying process.
