"Legal forms are only guidelines. Some of them will work well as they stand, other will need to be customized to fit the situation. When it comes to buying land, you need to get everything right. Buying and selling land involves a lot of money, almost always backed up by mortgages. If anything goes wrong, the legal consequences can be bad. So this is a set of standard terms which potentially creates an obligation to buy land — subject to the condition that the buyer can get the finance. It is a good starting point but before anyone actually signs a document like this, some professional advice should be taken. Nothing is ever carved in stone when it comes to agreements. Some clauses favor one side as against the other. It is up to both sides to get the best deal they can."
