Easy Contracts Offer To Purchase (OTP) Agreement

An Offer to Purchase (OTP) is a formal agreement that facilitates the transaction of property between a buyer and a seller. While navigating such agreements requires attention to detail to avoid common pitfalls, Easy Contracts simplifies the process with its carefully structured offer to purchase documents.

Key elements typically included in an Offer to Purchase are:

  1. Identification of the contracting parties.
  2. The property's description or address.
  3. Details of the purchase price, payment methods, and timelines.
  4. Conditions precedent, like securing a mortgage or the sale of a current property.
  5. Responsibilities of both seller and buyer concerning the sale, including:
  • The seller's duty to pay all rates and taxes until the transfer and to provide necessary compliance certificates (e.g., electrical, electrical fence, gas compliance, and, for coastal properties, possibly entomologist and water compliance certificates).
  • The buyer's obligations, such as executing documents, covering costs, and paying transfer duties as required by the conveyancer.
  1. Information on the legal representation for the transfer process and their role.
  2. Specifics on withholding tax for non-residents selling property valued over R2-million in South Africa.
  3. Tax compliance details concerning the South African Revenue Service (SARS).
  4. Terms about occupation and possession, including arrangements for early occupation and related rent.
