Conditional agreement

A legally binding contract between the buyer and seller of a property with conditions—this is also known as a conditional sale and purchase agreement. Conditions may be put forward by either the buyer or seller (or both) and must be met before the sale can be finalised. Common conditions include securing finance, selling an existing property, seeing the results of a LIM report, or checking the Certificate of Title.
