As a buyer, it’s important to ensure that you and your real estate agent are protecting your best interests when entering into a real estate transaction. One way to do this is by including conditions in your offer on a property known as the agreement of purchase and sale. These conditions are essentially clauses that outline specific actions that must be taken, or certain conditions that must be met before the sale of the property can be completed.
There are several different types of conditions that you may want to consider including in your agreement of purchase and sale. For example, you may want to include a financing condition, which allows you to back out of the sale if you cannot obtain financing for purchasing the property.
Another condition you may want to consider is a home inspection condition, which allows you to have a professional inspection of the property and to back out of the sale if the inspection reveals any issues that are not acceptable to you as the purchaser. Other conditions you may want to include could be a condition related to the status of the property’s title, a condition related to the property’s zoning, or a condition related to the property’s environmental condition.
It’s important to keep in mind that the conditions included in your agreement of purchase and sale should be reasonable and can be negotiated between you and the seller. You should also consult with a real estate professional or lawyer to ensure that your interests are adequately protected.
Including conditions in your agreement of purchase and sale can help protect your interests as a buyer and give you peace of mind during the real estate transaction process. Be sure to consider which conditions are appropriate for your situation carefully and to negotiate them with the seller.
