The Real Estate Option to Purchase Agreement is a crucial document in Hong Kong's property market, providing a structured framework for property acquisition negotiations. It is commonly used when a potential buyer needs time to arrange financing, conduct due diligence, or satisfy other conditions before committing to a purchase, while ensuring the property owner cannot sell to another party during the option period. The agreement must comply with Hong Kong's legal requirements, including the Conveyancing and Property Ordinance and Stamp Duty Ordinance. It typically includes detailed property information, option terms, purchase price, exercise procedures, and completion requirements. This document is particularly valuable in both commercial and residential property transactions where parties need to secure their interests while finalizing transaction details.
