Some notes on the rights and obligations of the parties in real estate purchase and sale contracts

  1. For buyers:
  • Check the handover time: The buyer needs to ensure that the real estate handover time is clearly and specifically stated in the contract. In case of a late handover, the contract should have a reasonable penalty clause to protect the interests of the buyer.
  • Real estate quality: You should clearly state the quality, technical standards, and condition of the real estate upon handover. The buyer can request a detailed acceptance record and warranty to avoid future quality disputes.
  • Related costs: It is necessary to clarify the costs that the buyer must pay, such as taxes, transfer fees, management fees, etc. This helps avoid incurring unclear costs that affect financial plans.
  1. For sellers:
  • Legal conditions: The seller needs to ensure that the real estate being traded has no disputes, outstanding debts, or planning violations. Documents such as a Certificate of Ownership, Construction Permit (if any), and related documents need to be complete and valid.
  • Payment terms: Must clearly stipulate payment installments, amount and payment time. This helps manage cash flow and avoid delays in payment by the buyer, affecting business plans.
  • Handling of violations: Clear regulations on sanctions when the buyer violates, such as late payment or refusal to accept handover without a legitimate reason. Sanctions may include fines, cancellation of the contract, or confiscation of the deposit.
  1. Dispute resolution terms:

There should be clear provisions on the method and location of dispute resolution. Normally, the parties will prioritize settlement through negotiation or mediation before going to court or arbitration. This saves time and costs while minimizing legal risks.

Clarifying and negotiating these terms in detail not only helps ensure rights but also minimizes the risk of disputes arising during contract implementation.
