SPA Deadline - 3+1 Completion Date

Buying? Or selling of properties? Are you afraid that the transaction cannot meet the general deadline of 3+1 months? Are you worried that the lawyer is not updating you on the progress of the transaction?

So you might ask what is 3+1?

It is actually the time (3 months + 1 month) for a buyer to complete his/her purchase in a SPA transaction for a regular freehold property.


You have 3 months to complete all the Vendor's redemption and also to pay the balance purchase price and extension of 1 month to complete in case there are delays in the process.


However, do bear in mind the latter will usually attract a 8% p.a. interest as late payment interest, depending on what is stipulated in your SPA contract.
