What's at stake
What is really at stake
- 01Commercial land is not a house purchase with bigger numbers.The title may carry express conditions restricting use. There may be a restriction in interest requiring state consent. There may be an existing charge, a caveat, or a tenant with rights nobody mentioned.
- 02Deposits get paid on the strength of a booking form.Then the title search comes back and the property cannot lawfully be used for what the buyer intends, or consent is required from an authority that takes months to give it.
- 03By then the deposit is at risk and the completion date is fixed against a condition nobody controls.
In plain words
Commercial Sale and Purchase Agreement
Sale and purchase documentation for commercial, industrial and development property — covering title and encumbrance investigation, land use category and express conditions, required consents and approvals, the deposit and completion mechanism, apportionments, and what happens if a condition is not met.
What good looks like
Imagine signing knowing the title is clean, the use is permitted, the consents required are identified with a realistic timeline, and the agreement says precisely what happens if any of it slips. Completion becomes a date in the diary rather than a source of anxiety.

Before you sign
The cost of waiting
Title problems are cheapest to find before the deposit is paid. Every day after that, they are the buyer's problem to solve rather than the seller's.
