A Preliminary Purchase Agreement is commonly used in commercial transactions where parties need to establish basic terms before proceeding to a detailed final agreement. This document, governed by English and Welsh law, provides security and structure during the negotiation phase while allowing flexibility for due diligence and further discussion. It typically precedes more comprehensive documentation and is particularly valuable in complex transactions where detailed investigation is required. The agreement helps manage risk and expectations while maintaining momentum towards completion.
