What is an Offer to Purchase (OTP) and is it legally binding?

The OTP (also called the Deed of Sale) is a legally binding contract once signed by both the Buyer and the Seller. It sets out the terms, price, occupation date, and any crucial 'suspensive conditions'; (e.g., that you must secure bond approval by a certain date). Never sign an OTP without fully understanding its terms.
