Contract

We When creating a purchase contract, other documents such as a seller's disclosure or lead paint disclosure, promissory note, power of attorney, etc., may also be required. The contract could also be “bilateral,” having each event ensure the contractual provisions, or “unilateral,” in actuality a choice, having one party providing assurance, with a binding contract coming into existence if and when the opposite party elects to gain assurance at a later date.

 Commencing the Purchase and Sale Process

Often, a commercial real estate transaction will commence with a Letter of Intent. A Letter of Intent typically contains the key aspects of the agreement, and is sometimes described as an “agreement to agree.” The legal effect of a Letter of Intent depends on the terms set forth in the letter and the degree to which one party may have reasonably relied upon the letter.

 Purchase and Sale Agreements

Whether or not a Letter of Intent is issued, a full contract will ultimately be required, and must satisfy the Statute of Frauds. Often, these contracts are so detailed as to include various conditions precedent to closing, closing procedures and other details unrelated to the property itself.

  • Conditions precedent, such as inspection, title search and other measures to insure the condition of the premises and the quality of title
  • The precise description of the premises, including any easements, improvements, fixtures, and other property to be included in the sale
  • The type of deed to be delivered at closing
  • Whether the property is being transferred “as is” or the seller is making representations as to the condition of the property
  • Not only the total purchase price, but how that purchase price is allocated among real property, equipment and any other property being transferred
  • Whether the contract is contingent upon financing, and the parameters of that contingency
  • Procedures for notification of tenants, if applicable
  • Escrow instructions
  • Risk of loss prior to closing

 The Risks of Form or Copycat Real Estate Contracts

While termination of the contract is an extreme outcome, failure to clearly address a key issue may lead to costly litigation, delayed closing and other frustrating and expensive effects. When each party works with an experienced commercial real estate lawyer, negotiations will be better balanced, the likelihood of overlooking an element or failing to achieve a true meeting of the minds will be greatly reduced, and the transaction is likely to proceed with greater ease and certainty.
