Potential areas at completion

  • outstanding documentation;
  • completion conditions;
  • taxes;
  • purchase funds;
  • representation;
  • deed or authenticated instrument;
  • registration;
  • handover arrangements.

The appropriate scope depends on the property and the transaction.

Timing at completion

Completion depends on matters outside any single party's control, including third-party documentation, bank processes and scheduling. No completion date can be assured in advance.

Frequently asked questions

Request support
