Contract drafting pitfalls for conveyancing trainees, paralegals and support staff

The contract of sale is one of the key documents required in the conveyancing process. But it is not ‘just another form’. It creates a binding obligation to sell land, and it sets out the matters agreed between seller and buyer. A firm can be negligent if they get it wrong.

Topics covered include:

• What are the standard conditions of sale?
• How to complete a straightforward contract
• How to draft some common special conditions of sale
• Why it is important to get the contract right
• What if it needs to be amended after exchange?

This webinar is suitable for any trainees, support staff, paralegals, secretaries and others who are involved with supporting fee earners.
