Buying or selling a property, a car, or any valuable asset requires formalizing a sales contract. However, many individuals make mistakes that can lead to legal or financial disputes.
Error 1: Not reviewing all the clauses
It’s common to sign without fully understanding what you’re agreeing to. Some clauses may be abusive or contradict what was agreed verbally.
Tip: Always have a lawyer review the contract before signing.
Error 2: Not putting key agreements in writing
A verbal “handshake deal” has no legal validity if it isn’t documented. Delivery dates, condition of the asset, payment method—everything must be in writing.
Tip: Use a clear, complete contract, not generic templates.
Error 3: Not checking the legal status of the asset
For real estate or vehicles, it’s essential to verify any liens, encumbrances, fines, or associated debts.
Tip: Request registry records or reports before closing the deal.
