Contract Of Purchase Of Sale

This is the legal document stating the buyer’s offer and deposit and what you are including in the sale. If this document is not completed correctly or is overlooked it can void or set back the sale.

If you are including items such as furniture or a stove in the sale of your home, these items should be listed in the contract of Purchase of Sale. If you are not including certain fixtures in the sale of your home, such as lighting, these must be declared in the contract of Purchase of Sale to avoid problems on the Completion date.

Conveyancing

Your notary public or lawyer will review all documentation provided by the purchaser in the conveyancing process. These documents can include a Property Transfer Tax Form and Statement of Adjustments. It is important to hire a notary public or lawyer as any incorrect forms can be disastrous.
