FAQ
A purchase option is a right to purchase or lease land or other property interests without any obligation to do so.
An option to purchase agreement therefore gives the buyer rights over the land, and will also bind a future owner of the land too.Pre-emption rights in regard to registered land take effect at the time of their creation however, and can therefore be binding on subsequent owners.
An Option to Purchase agreement is a legal contract signed between a buyer and a seller of a residential property, and basically gives the buyer the exclusive rights to purchase a property from the seller in the future.
With the option to purchase route, the buyer pays the seller money for the exclusive right to purchase the property within a specified term (often six months to a year). The buyer and seller might agree to a purchase price at that time, or the buyer can agree to pay market value at the time their option is exercised.
If the buyer simply changes their mind during the option period, all they lose is their option fee. If they change their mind later than that, they should lose their earnest money unless they find a valid excuse in the contract for terminating. There is nothing a seller can do keep a buyer from changing their mind.
If the expiration (closing) date is approaching and it's clear the deal isn't going to close on schedule (no bank approval is the most common reason), either party can allow the contract to expire or they can sign an extension.
How long does an option last? An option typically lasts 24 months but the timeframe to exercise is completely negotiable at the agreement stage.
A signed offer to purchase is a legally binding document, and the terms and conditions in it have to be fulfilled. When an offer to purchase is signed for an existing property over the value of R250 000 there is no cooling off period for the purchaser.
An option agreement is a legally binding contract between two entities outlining each counterparty's responsibilities to the other.
