KEY POINTS
- There are two essential elements of a contract to purchase or sell property. First, is the mutual consent of both parties and second, is the sufficient consideration of both parties.
- Prior to selling property, the seller should perform due diligence on their property. Due diligence items can be but are not limited to building permits, plans and specifications, ALTA-surveys, tax bills and more. The seller should perform this step for many key reasons such as; (1) aiding a prospective buyer who is determining whether to make an offer on the property: (2) to avoid future claims that the seller misled or misrepresented the state of the property to the buyer.
- Once the purchase and sale agreement has been executed, most agreements provide the purchaser with a period of time to review information about the property and even conduct investigations. This period lasts 30-120 days.
- The purchaser will have various time frames relating to each area of investigation to either approve or disapprove the results of its investigation. If the purchaser approves of one or more areas of due diligence as contemplated by the purchase and sale agreement, that condition is deemed satisfied and is no longer available to the purchaser as a basis to terminate the purchase and sale agreement. If the purchaser disapproves of any of the results of its investigations, many purchase and sale agreements allow for a period of additional time which the seller may attempt to remedy the problems raised by the purchaser.
