Leaving Anything Important Out of Your Property Sale Agreement Will Sink It
Land sale agreements must be in writing and signed by all parties or their authorized agents (Alienation of Land Act). This written contract must include all material terms: essential terms (parties, land, price) and any term materially affecting rights/obligations (e.g., subdivision). Omitting a material term, even if verbally agreed upon, renders the sale invalid. Always record all important terms in writing and seek legal advice before signing.
