Document background
The Simple Offer To Purchase Land Form is a crucial preliminary document in Swiss real estate transactions, used when a potential buyer wishes to formally express their intent to purchase a specific property. This document is typically employed before proceeding with the final notarized deed of sale, which is mandatory under Swiss law. It contains all essential elements required for a valid offer, including property details, purchase price, conditions, and timing requirements, while complying with federal and cantonal regulations. The form serves multiple purposes: it demonstrates the buyer's serious intent, sets forth the basic terms of the proposed transaction, and provides a framework for subsequent negotiations. While not the final binding purchase agreement (which must be notarized), this document is particularly important in Swiss real estate practice as it helps establish clear terms and conditions early in the transaction process.
