Pre-perusal of Contract of Sale and Vendor’s Statement
It is important for prospective Purchasers to have the Contract of Sale and Section 32 Vendor’s Statement looked at by us prior to you signing anything. We can help you understand what planning restrictions apply, what building regulations mean and how they might affect you and draw your attention to any easements or encumbrances that affect the Title. Simply request the Real Estate Agent fax a copy of the documents to us, we shall then read them and report to you on not just their contents but as to anything we feel is 'missing' and should be added for your protection.
By having documents perused before signing we can identify and hopefully take steps to fix, or protect you from, any potential problems that may arise later. If potential problems are identified and dealt with at the sign up stage it will help the settlement process to run smoothly.
We will not charge you for reviewing the documentation pre-purchase as this service is included in our fee.
