The Lease and Sale Agreement is a specialized legal instrument used in South African property transactions where parties wish to combine a rental period with a subsequent property purchase. This document is particularly relevant when buyers need time to arrange financing or prefer a trial period before committing to purchase, or when sellers wish to secure a committed buyer while generating rental income. It must comply with South African property law, including the Alienation of Land Act, Rental Housing Act, and Consumer Protection Act. The agreement typically includes detailed provisions for both the lease phase (rental amounts, maintenance, utilities) and the sale phase (purchase price, transfer conditions, property registration), along with clear triggers for transitioning from lease to sale. This type of agreement is commonly used in both residential and commercial property transactions, providing flexibility while ensuring legal protection for all parties involved.
