The Memorandum of Agreement (Real Estate) is a fundamental legal document used in New Zealand property transactions to formalize the agreement between parties involved in real estate sales. This document is essential when transferring property ownership and must comply with New Zealand's legal framework, including the Property Law Act 2007, Real Estate Agents Act 2008, and Land Transfer Act 2017. It is typically used after initial negotiations are complete and parties are ready to formalize their agreement, but before the final transfer of property. The document includes comprehensive details about the property, parties involved, purchase price, settlement terms, conditions, warranties, and other crucial aspects of the transaction. It serves as the primary reference point throughout the property transfer process and provides legal protection for all parties involved.
