READ AND UNDERSTAND YOUR LAND/BUILDING AND BUSINESS DOCUMENTS BEFORE SIGNING

READ AND UNDERSTAND YOUR LAND/BUILDING AND BUSINESS DOCUMENTS BEFORE SIGNING

Pay attention to details. Refuse to be rushed into signing land/house purchase or business documents with the word “just sign here.”

Never sign a land/building or business document you have not calmly read and understood. Look out for unfavourable terms and clauses in it.

Ensure that all your points of agreement are captured in the Agreement. Most legal documents are written with legal jargons.

Read to understand with clarity. If you are in doubt of the actual or clear meaning of any portion of the document, ask your Property/Real Estate and Business Lawyer for clarification.

For persons unable to read, to get a trusted person to interpret the property or business document in the language he understands.

If you use recommended medicated reading glasses, then do not read the document without them. Every word counts, as the omission or addition of even one word can completely change or alter the meaning of a clause or term in the Agreement.

Note that parties are bound by their agreement and it therefore follows that you are bound by whatever you sign. There is freedom of Agreement/Contract and even the courts will give effect to what you agreed on and as signed by you.

Your thoughts do not count; the words used in the Agreement do.
