The purchase agreement then contains all the conditions for the sale. If the purchaser acts in a commercial capacity, this is different. In that case, a purchase agreement is already concluded if there is agreement on the essential points of the transaction. These are usually the property and the price, but sometimes also the delivery date or other essential points for the parties. In December, the Court of Appeal passed judgment on the question of when there is agreement. Real estate lawyer Duncan Tang explains what was at issue.
