A sale and purchase agreement is an agreement between you and the vendor on the details of the sale of the property. The generally accepted document to use here is called the ‘Agreement for Sale and Purchase of Real Estate’.
The contract should be prepared by a real estate agent representing the seller, but if you are engaging on a private sale, you can have a sale and purchase agreement prepared by one of our lawyers or our legal executive Paula. Good conditions to include in the agreement are the following:
- Condition re LIM

PROPERTY AND FAMILY ARRANGEMENTS
It is not uncommon for there to be arrangements within a family or between friends with regard to property.
In those circumstances it is sometimes necessary for the different parties to have independent lawyers and independent legal advice.
We can assist to “drive the process” so that you are able to put your proposals in as sensible and reasonable a way as possible and for us to prepare the appropriate documents for you to give effect to your intentions.
Obviously we will give advice to you with regard to the necessary documentation which might well include deeds or documents to deal with the aspect of how to deal with the balance of debt owed. There is no longer any gift duty. However there are real issues for a person lending and then gifting the whole of the balance debt for example in the context of qualifying for residential care subsidies in the future. We can assist with good advice with regard to all this.
