Real Estate Purchase Agreement

A Real Estate Purchase Agreement governs the sale and transfer of property ownership between buyer and seller. This playbook covers due diligence, contingencies, and closing mechanics.

Lease Term and Renewal

Why This Matters: Ambiguous terms on duration or renewal can lead to unexpected holdovers or missed opportunities to renegotiate. Clear provisions minimize the risk of disputes over vacating or retaining premises.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Buyer:

Negotiate for flexible renewal options and clear break clauses to ensure adaptability to changing business needs. Ensure that notice periods for renewal are reasonable and allow for strategic planning.

If you're the Seller:

Secure long-term commitments with favorable terms while allowing for market adjustments. Ensure break clauses are structured to minimize potential revenue loss.
