09 Sep 2024

An Offer to Purchase (OTP) is a legally binding agreement between a buyer and a seller in a property transaction. Once both parties sign the OTP, it finalizes the terms of sale, including the purchase price, property description, and any special conditions.

It’s crucial for both buyers and sellers to review the document carefully before signing to avoid legal and financial complications.
