The Loi Commercial (Real Estate) is a crucial preliminary document used in South African commercial property transactions to establish the initial framework for negotiations between parties. It is typically employed when parties have reached a general understanding but need to document their commercial intentions before proceeding to detailed due diligence and final agreements. The document combines elements of South African property law with commercial practice, providing a structured approach to property negotiations while maintaining legal compliance. It includes both binding elements (such as confidentiality and exclusivity) and non-binding commercial terms, making it an essential tool in the early stages of significant property transactions. The LOI helps parties align their expectations and commercial terms while providing a roadmap for the transaction's progression.
