What the work involves
- Bring the buyer, seller and property details together.
- Set out the agreed price, payment and possession arrangements.
- Check the references, schedules and attachments in the draft.
- Work through comments before preparing the version to sign.
Tell the drafter what changed during the sale
The agreed price or handover arrangement may have changed since the first discussion. Provide the signed agreement, payment details and a separate note of any later changes. Ask for unresolved points to be raised rather than filled in from a familiar format.
Read the property schedule carefully, even if the rest of the draft looks straightforward. Verify the supporting references and ask to see every annexure mentioned. Keep the version you approved so it can be compared with the document presented for signature.
Documents to have available
- Title and property schedule records
- Agreed commercial terms and payment information
- Party details and any authority documents
- Earlier agreement and relevant correspondence
Read the property schedule as carefully as the price. The flat number, land share, extent and boundaries need to match the records for your purchase. If a detail is disputed or unclear, get it resolved instead of letting the draft silently choose one version.
Before work begins
We’ll explain the drafting and revision work included, and whether registration assistance is needed too. A title review can be arranged separately if the ownership papers still need checking.
Questions about deeds & agreements
Will the draft include everything we discussed with the seller?
Tell the drafter the terms you want recorded, including promises about possession or dues. Share the agreement and relevant messages so important details are not left in conversation alone.
Can we use the seller’s old deed as the new draft?
It is useful source material for review, but the new transaction needs its own particulars and terms. Have the drafter explain what has been retained, updated or added.
