Introduction
REINZ Useful Clauses and Authorities

Clauses in this booklet are drafted for use with the Auckland District Law Society/Real Estate
Institute of New Zealand Inc. agreement forms. The booklet first appeared in 1957 under the
title Bulletin on Sales Agreements.
WARNING
I. Agreements for Sale and Purchase of Real Estate
The clauses relating to sale and purchase of real estate are drafted for insertion in the "Further
Terms of Sale" section of the Auckland District Law Society/REINZ form of Agreement for Sale
and Purchase of Real Estate (seventh edition July 1999). They will be reviewed and amended
where necessary following any changes to the agreement form.
The General Terms of Sale in the Agreement form, Clauses 1.0 to 13.0, should not be deleted
or varied; nor should additional clauses be added in that section. Any deletions, variations or
additions should be made in the "Other Terms of Sale" section by reference to the General
Terms of Sale.
Example:
14.0 "Delete subclause 8.2 in General Terms of Sale and substitute:
14.1 [Set out full text of clause]
15.0 Delete subclause 8.4 in General Terms of Sale and substitute:
15.1 [Set out full text of clause]
etc
II. Agreements for Sale and Purchase of a Business

The clauses relating to sale and purchase of a business are drafted for insertion in the "Special
Conditions" section of the Auckland District Law Society/REINZ form of Agreement for Sale and
Purchase of a Business (Second Edition, July 1995). They will be reviewed and amended
The General Conditions of Sale in the Agreement for Sale and Purchase of a Business,
Clauses .0 to 16.0, should not be deleted or varied or additional clauses added in that section.
Any deletions, variations or additions should be made in the "Special Conditions" section by
reference to the General Conditions in the same manner as described for the Agreement for
Sale and Purchase of Real Estate above.
III. Rural Property

The clauses relating to sale and purchase of rural land are drafted for insertion in the Other
Terms of Sale section of the Auckland District Law Society/REINZ form of Agreement for Sale
and Purchase of Real Estate (seventh edition July 1999). They will be reviewed and amended

IV. Sections
The clauses in this category should be used in the same manner as the clauses relating to sale
and purchase of real estate (Part I).
V. Leases
The clauses in this category are drafted for insertion into the Auckland District Law
Society/REINZ Agreement to Lease 1993. They will be reviewed and amended where
necessary following any changes to the agreement form.
VI. Commercial
The clauses in this category should be used in the same manner as the clauses relating to sale
and purchase of real estate (Part 1).
Where the vendor is selling shares in a property owning company an agreement should not be
entered into without prior consultation with the solicitors for the parties.

PART I
Real Estate - Home Units
1. Unit Title
Legal Description:
Certificate of Title ......../....... (............. Registry) being for Principal Unit ...... on Unit Plan
No ........ together with Accessory Unit(s) ..................................
NOTE:
If the unit title has not been issued, the appropriate wording should be finalised in
consultation with Vendor's solicitor.
2. Cross Lease Title

Legal Description
An undivided one ................... share in freehold (unless otherwise stated) property
Area: Lot: DP: CT:
With registered lease No ............................. of Flat ............. plus garage/carport (if any) on
DP.............................................
NOTES:
1. If the cross lease title has not been issued the appropriate wording should be
finalised in consultation with parties' solicitors.
2. If development work is to be undertaken by the Purchaser, the Auckland District
Law Society/REINZ Addendum of Clauses for Staged Development Work should be
included in the agreement.
3. Company Ownership of Flats

NOTE:
The REINZ/ADLS Agreement for Sale and Purchase of Real Estate is not the appropriate
form to record the sale and purchase of shares in a flat owning company. The Vendor's
solicitor should prepare an agreement which will refer to the transfer of shares
according to the constitution of the company which holds the title to the land.
4. Purchaser with Nomination Right or as Trustee for Company to be Formed

NOTE:
An agreement with a trustee for a company to be formed should not be entered into
without prior consultation with the solicitors for the parties. In these circumstances and
when a Purchaser signs with a right of nomination, the signing party will remain
personally liable (see Clause 11.1 of the General Terms of Sale).
In no circumstances should an agreement be entered into by a person designated as

agent for a company to be formed.

5. Conditional on Sale of Purchaser's Property
This agreement is conditional upon the Purchaser entering into a contract for the sale of the
Purchaser's property situated at ......................................................................................... for
$ ................................ (or such lesser amount as the Purchaser shall accept) and otherwise on
terms and conditions satisfactory to the Purchaser which contract is to become unconditional
no later than 4.00 pm on .................................... [insert date]. The purchaser is to notify the
Vendor or the Vendor's solicitor by 5.00 pm on that date that this condition has been satisfied
or this agreement will be at an end. This condition is for the sole benefit of the Purchaser.
NOTE:
This clause allows the purchaser one hour to confirm satisfaction of the condition to the
vendor. Care must be taken to ensure that any agreement entered into by the Purchaser
takes into account the standard time limits in this agreement. The normal cut-off time
for satisfying conditions is 5.00 pm. (See Clause 1.1(7) of General Terms of Sale. If in
doubt legal advice should be obtained.)
6. Conditional Upon Purchaser's Property Sale Becoming Unconditional

This agreement is conditional upon the existing agreement dated ....................... for the sale of
the Purchaser's property situated at ....................................................................
to .............................................. [insert name] becoming unconditional on or before ...............
[state time] on ...................... [insert date]. The Purchaser is to notify the Vendor or the
Vendor's solicitor by 6.00 pm on the date on which the existing agreement becomes
unconditional that this condition has been satisfied or this agreement will be at an end. This
condition is for the sole benefit of the Purchaser.
NOTE:
Care must be taken when using this clause to ensure that it is correctly linked to the
time limits in the Purchaser's existing conditional contract and that there is sufficient
time after the time limit set in that agreement to communicate acceptance to the Vendor
under this contract. The normal cut-off time for satisfying conditions (5.00 pm - see
Clause 1.1(7)) General Terms of Sale) has been extended by one hour in this clause in
order to allow for that communication. However, if the stated time in the prior agreement
is earlier than 5.00 pm then the time under this clause should be set at no less than 1
hour after that time.
7. Conditional on Expiry of Prior Option

This agreement is conditional upon the option over the property previously given by the Vendor
to ......................................................................................................................... [insert name of
other purchaser] not being exercised by the expiry time of ............... pm
on ............................................. [insert date]. The Vendor will notify the Purchaser or the
Purchaser's solicitor not later than ................ pm [insert time at least one hour later], whether or
not the prior option is exercised.
NOTE:
Care must be taken to ensure that there is a proper linkage between the time limits in the
first option and in this agreement and in the event of doubt legal advice should be
obtained. (see Clause 1.1(7) of General Terms of Sale).

8. Conditional on Expiry of Prior Agreement (Backup Agreement)
This agreement is conditional upon a prior agreement for the sale of the property not being
confirmed in all respects by ................... [insert time] on ................ [insert confirmation date]
being the latest date on which a condition under the prior agreement is to be confirmed, or
upon the earlier termination of the prior agreement. The Vendor agrees not to grant any
extension of the confirmation date under the prior agreement and to take all reasonable steps
to ensure cancellation or termination on the termination date.
NOTE: The prior agreement may contain more than one condition and this clause refers
only to the date on which the last of the conditions is to be satisfied, unless the prior
agreement is earlier terminated. Care must be taken to ensure that there is a proper
linkage between the prior agreement and the "back up" agreement.
It is preferable for the parties to have legal advice in drafting

a backup agreement.
9. Escape Clause
Sometimes required by Vendor before accepting conditional offer
If before this agreement becomes unconditional the Vendor enters into another agreement
which is either conditional, or is [delete reference to conditional agreement on instruction from
Vendor] unconditional in all respects except for it being subject to non confirmation of this prior
agreement, and which the Vendor in the Vendor's judgment considers to be no less favourable,
the Vendor may deliver to the Purchaser or the Purchaser's solicitor notice in writing requiring
the Purchaser to confirm this agreement as being unconditional. The Purchaser shall have
until 4.00 pm on the third working day after delivery of such notice to advise the Vendor by
delivery of notice in writing to the Vendor or the Vendor's solicitor that this agreement is
unconditional, otherwise this agreement shall terminate. This condition is for the sole benefit of
the Vendor.
NOTES:
1. The Vendor should be asked to decide whether or not a conditional backup offer
should be able to trigger the escape clause.
2. A letter in exercise of this provision should be prepared by the Vendor's solicitor.
10. Conditional Upon Settlement of Purchaser's Property Sale

This agreement is conditional upon settlement taking place on or before ......................... [insert
date] of the sale of the Purchaser's property situated at .............................................. pursuant
to the existing agreement for sale relating to that property. This condition is for the sole benefit
of the Purchaser.
NOTE:
This provision should not be used without consultation between the solicitors for the
parties. It virtually converts the agreement into an option. However, it might be
intended that a Purchaser will not be subject to penalties if there is delay in settlement
of the Purchaser's own sale. If this is what is required, a suitable alternative clause
should be drafted.

11. First Mortgage to Vendor
Under the heading "Balance of purchase price to be paid or satisfied as follows" insert:
1. By $ ..................... in cash upon the possession date
2. By the Purchaser executing in favour of the Vendor a first mortgage in respect of the
property as described in Further Terms of Sale -.0 hereof
Under the heading " Further Terms of Sale" insert:

-.0 The first mortgage from the Purchaser to the Vendor shall secure the sum of
$................... The mortgage shall be for a term of .................. years with interest at ............%
pa (penalty rate ............ % pa) calculated with monthly rests and payable monthly from the
possession date. In addition to payment of interest the Purchaser shall make reductions in the
principal sum of $..................... each month. The Purchaser may make additional payments in
reduction of the principal sum, interest to cease on such additional payments as from the next
monthly interest day but any such additional payment(s) shall not relieve the Purchaser from
the obligation to make the compulsory principal payments. Such mortgage will be prepared by
the Vendor's Solicitor at the expense of the Purchaser and shall be in the standard form
published by the Auckland District Law Society.
NOTE:
It is preferable to have a copy of the mortgage form annexed to the agreement.
12. Second Mortgage to Vendor

1. By $..................... in cash upon the possession date
2. By the Purchaser executing in favour of the Vendor a second mortgage (subject only to
a first mortgage of not more than $......................., including any priority amount, in favour
of..............................................................), as described in Further Terms of Sale -.0.
NOTE:
The proposed first mortgage should also be described in the Financial Conditions
section of the schedule.
Under the heading " Further Terms of Sale" insert:

-.0 The second mortgage from the Purchaser to the Vendor shall secure the sum of
$............................. and shall be for a term of ................... years with interest at ........% pa
(penalty rate ............% pa) calculated with monthly rests and payable monthly from the
possession date. In addition to payment of interest the Purchaser shall make reductions in the
principal sum of $....................... each month. The Purchaser may make additional payments
in reduction of the principal sum, interest to cease on such additional payments as from the
next monthly interest day but any such additional payments shall not relieve the Purchaser from
the obligation to make the compulsory principal payments. The provisions of subclause 8.3
shall apply to the mortgagor as if it were arranged pursuant to a financial condition. Such
mortgage will be prepared by the Vendor's solicitor at the expense of the Purchaser and shall
be in the standard form published by the Auckland District Law Society. The Purchaser shall
have the right to renew or extend the first mortgage or to arrange a new first mortgage provided
that the mortgage to the Vendor is reduced by the amount (if any) by which any new or
increased first mortgage exceeds the amount of the first mortgage stated in the financial

conditions. If no first mortgage amount is stated the total of the first mortgage and second
mortgage shall not exceed ...........% of the purchase price.
NOTE:
It is preferable to have a copy of the mortgage form annexed to the agreement.
13. Arranging Finance

This agreement is conditional upon the Purchaser arranging sufficient finance on terms and
conditions satisfactory to the Purchaser, and advising the Vendor or the Vendor's solicitor on or
before 4.00 pm on .................................................. this condition has been satisfied. This
condition is for the sole benefit of the Purchaser.
NOTE:
This clause should be used with caution as it allows the Purchaser a wide discretion to
bring the contract to an end. If the specific financial conditions in the "Financial
Conditions" section of the front page schedule are completed, a clause of this nature
would not be required.
However, the Financial Conditions section must be completed with caution; it has the
effect of binding the Purchaser to the financial arrangements as stated, something that
must be clearly explained to the Purchaser.
14. Conditional on Approval or Consent

This agreement is conditional on the Purchaser obtaining at their cost, approval or consent
for ...................................................... from ......................................................... and advising
the Vendor or the Vendor's solicitor by 4.00 pm on ........................... [insert date] that such
approval or consent has been obtained. The Purchaser shall bear all expense involved and will
use the Purchaser's best endeavours to obtain such approval or consent within that period.
This condition is for the sole benefit of the Purchaser.
15. Solicitor's Approval

NOTE: "Solicitor's Approval" clauses should not be used. The standard form agreement
provides in clause 5.0 for requisition of the title by the Purchaser. The right to
requisition arises only when there is a defect in the Vendor's title not known to the
Purchaser at the time the contract was made.
The courts have consistently held that a "solicitor's approval" clause cannot be used to
justify withdrawal from an agreement for other than legal reasons relating to issues such
as validity of title or capacity of the proposed Purchaser. If a Purchaser does not wish to
be bound until another person has agreed with the Purchaser's judgment in entering
into the transaction, a clause to the following effect might be used.
If in doubt legal advice should be sought by the parties.
This agreement is conditional upon the Purchaser being satisfied, after taking such advice as
the Purchaser may wish, that the property is in all respects suitable for the Purchaser. The
Purchaser shall notify the Vendor or the Vendor's solicitor not later than ............... pm
on ........................................................... [insert date] that this condition has been fulfilled or this
agreement will be at an end and the deposit paid (if any) will be returned to the Purchaser.
This condition is for the sole benefit of the Purchaser.

16. Sale on Credit Terms
(i) By $ .........................................in cash on the possession date
(ii) By the Purchaser paying consecutive monthly payments of $.........................., the first of
which shall be paid one month following the possession date, such payments to be applied by
the Vendor firstly in payment of interest at the rate of ..........% pa (penalty rate ...........% pa)
calculated with monthly rests and payable monthly and secondly in reduction of the balance of
the purchase price. On ..................................................... [insert date] any balance of purchase
price then outstanding shall be paid. The provisions of Further Terms of Sale (-.0) are to apply.
Under the heading "Further Terms of Sale" insert:

-.0 Sale on Credit Terms
-.1 The Purchaser may at any time make additional payments in reduction of the balance of
the purchase price. Interest shall cease upon any such payment as from the next interest day.
The making of any additional payment(s) shall not relieve the purchaser of the obligation to
continue to make the compulsory periodic payments.
-.2 During the term of this agreement the Purchaser will keep the property and buildings or
other improvements erected thereon in good and tidy condition and repair and will keep any
buildings insured in the joint names of the parties for their replacement value, will pay all
outgoings in respect of the property and will attend to any requisitions of any statutory authority
arising in respect of the property. If the Purchaser fails to meet the obligations under this clause
the Vendor may do so and recover the amount paid from the Purchaser together with interest at
the penalty rate for the period the Vendor is out of pocket. The proceeds of any insurance claim
shall be received by the Vendor and may be applied in or towards payment of the balance of
the purchase price and other monies owing hereunder.
-.3 During the term of this agreement the Vendor may mortgage or re-mortgage the
property provided always that the combined amount of any mortgages does not at any time
exceed the balance of purchase price from time to time owing hereunder. If the Purchaser
caveats the property, the Purchaser shall, at the Purchaser's expense and without delay make
available to the Vendor any consent to the registration of any such mortgage (or variation of
mortgage).
-.4 The Purchaser may remedy any default by the Vendor under any mortgage of the
property and any money paid by the Purchaser in so doing shall be deemed to be a payment in
reduction of any portion of the purchase price outstanding hereunder.
-.5 The Purchaser shall, if called upon by the Vendor to do so, take title to the property and
execute in favour of the Vendor a first or first and second mortgage(s) upon financial terms and
conditions no less favourable than those under which the Purchaser holds the property under
this agreement.
-.6 If, during the continuance of this agreement, any agreement for sale and purchase,
exchange or other disposition of the property is entered into the balance of the purchase
money and all other monies owing hereunder shall thereupon at the option of the
Vendor become due and payable.
NOTES:
1. The contract does not become binding on the Purchaser until three days after the
disclosure provisions of the Credit Contracts Act 1981 have been complied with.
2. If there is to be a sale on terms with settlement delayed for more than 93 days
after the date of the agreement, the transaction may be affected by the accruals
provisions of the Income Tax Act 1994. The provisions of the Goods and Services Tax
Act might require payment of GST on the whole purchase price at the time of payment of
the deposit or first instalment. Parties should not enter into agreements without
obtaining appropriate professional advice and the necessary clauses should be
prepared after consultation with the parties' solicitors.
17. Conditional on Specialist's Report

This agreement is conditional on the Purchaser being satisfied with a report
on ............................................. [describe subject matter of report] to be obtained
from ....................................................................... Should the Purchaser in good faith be
dissatisfied with any matter contained in the report the Purchaser may terminate this agreement
by notice in writing to the Vendor or the Vendor's solicitor, such notice to be received by 4.00
pm on .................................. [insert date]. If notice is not received within time the Purchaser
shall be deemed to have waived the Purchaser's rights under this condition.
18. Conditional on Resource Consent

This agreement is conditional upon the Purchaser at the Purchaser's expense obtaining from
the responsible authority by 4.00 pm on .............................................. [insert date], any
approval or consent necessary under the Resource Management Act 1991
for .............................................................................................................................. upon terms
and conditions satisfactory in the sole judgment of the Purchaser. The Purchaser will forthwith
make application for such approval or consent supporting the same with all necessary plans,
specifications and details as may be required by the responsible authority and will take all
reasonable steps to obtain the said approval or consent by the above date. If the Purchaser
shall obtain such approval or consent upon terms and conditions satisfactory to the Purchaser
the date for confirmation shall be automatically extended for such further time as is necessary
for the determination of any appeal or other legal proceeding against or arising from the said
consent or approval. This condition is for the sole benefit of the Purchaser.
NOTE:
Caution should be exercised in using this clause as the extension for the hearing of a
possible appeal might delay confirmation for several months.
19. Leasehold - Acknowledgment by Purchaser

The Purchaser is aware that the land is held under perpetually renewable lease
from ............................... to .............................................. , such lease being renewable
every .................... [insert number] years, the present term expiring
on ........................................ [insert date]. The present rental is $......................... per annum.
The lease provides for review of the rental every .................... [insert number] years. This
contract is conditional upon the consent of the lessor to the transfer of the lease from the
Vendor to the Purchaser, consent to be obtained by the Vendor at the Vendor's expense by the
possession date.

20. Boat, Car or Caravan as Part Payment
Under the heading "Balance of purchase price" insert:
1. By $ .......................................... in cash on the possession date
2. The balance of $ .......................................... by the Purchaser satisfying this sum by

transferring to the Vendor on the possession date the ownership of the Purchaser's (describe
chattels, etc.) …..
…………….................................................................................................... ................................
............................................................................................................... .
The provisions of Further Terms of Sale (-.0) are to apply.
Under the heading "Special conditions of sale" insert:

-.0 The Purchaser warrants that the chattels referred to in the Schedule of Chattels for
Transfer to the Vendor, in part satisfaction of the purchase price, are or will at the time of
settlement be the unencumbered property of the Purchaser and in good working order.
21. Swimming Pool Fencing

Unless the Vendor is able to give a warranty that the pool is correctly fenced or has been
granted an exemption by the local authority then the following clause should be included:
-.0 The Purchaser accepts full liability for any costs involved in complying with the Fencing
of Swimming Pools Act 1987.
22. Contemporaneous Settlement

Settlement of this agreement is conditional upon settlement of the other agreement made
between the same parties dated ........................... and affecting the property
at ......................................................................................................... and settlement of both
agreements shall be deemed to be interdependent and shall be effected contemporaneously.
NOTE:
If the same agent is acting for both parties to this arrangement and collecting a
commission from both, care needs to be taken to ensure that both principals are aware
and acknowledge in writing that the agent is acting for and receiving commission from
both parties. The suggested wording for an acknowledgment, which can be annexed to
the agreement for sale and purchase, is:
"To: ........................................................ Real Estate

I acknowledge that you have disclosed to me that you are also acting as agent
for ......................................................... in the transaction that is interdependent with the
transaction in which you are my agent and that you may be receiving a commission from the
vendors in both transactions. With full knowledge of these circumstances, I consent to you
continuing to act for both parties and receiving commissions from both."
23. Option to Purchase
NOTE:
An option to purchase should adopt the standard form Agreement for Sale and Purchase
of Real Estate, thereby incorporating all its standard conditions.

To:...................................................................................................... [name of option holder]
In consideration of the sum of $ .................................. (the receipt of which is acknowledged) I
grant to you (or your nominee) an option to purchase the land and chattels (if any) described in

SOLE/EXCLUSIVE MARKETING AGREEMENTS

Clause allowing for Master Agency

AND ("the Owner")
Clause for Insertion in Sole Agency Agreement to Allow for Master Agency:
The Sole Agent is authorised to engage the agents named below as Sub-Agents who may offer the
property for sale under the direction of the Sole Agent. The Owner will allow the Sub-Agents to inspect
the property to introduce purchasers to the property and to negotiate a sale on behalf of the Owner but a
Sub-Agent will have no direct claim against the Owner for a commission or other payments and if a sale
is effected by a Sub-Agent any remuneration will be paid to the Sole Agent. The Sole Agent is authorised
to give information concerning the property and particulars of the Owner's name and address to the Sub-
Agents who in turn may use such information for the purposes of negotiating a sale of the property.
NOTE:
A dominant group of agents participating in a joint agency arrangement may find themselves to
be in breach of the provisions of the Commerce Act, 1986, which prohibit practices substantially
lessening competition (s 27) and price fixing (s 30).
A group of agents contracting collectively as "Joint Agents" may be offering a common price for
their services, whereas a Master Agent can be the only agent contracting with the Principal and
can be seen to be acting independently of its competitors but engaging them on such terms as
may be negotiated between them separately, without reference to the Principal.

Method of Delivery: Fax: Hand: Mail:
Address for delivery to agency:
Please take notice that as from the date of delivery of this notice to you I give you
*................ days notice, effective at midnight on .............................. [insert date].

This option might be used if the existing agency contract has a cancellation on notice clause. The timing
should correspond with the provisions in the existing contract.
* or immediate notice.
That I am cancelling your agency for the sale of my property. If you are currently working with any

Name of Principal giving Notice:
Address of property for sale:
Name of new general/sole/exclusive agent appointed:
I acknowledge to the new agent named above that I am giving this notice relying on my own
judgment as to my right to cancel the prior agency, although you may have advised me as to the
options available to me and provided me with this form.
Alternatively the new agent may have this inserted in its agency contract.

Signature/s of owner/s
Date: / / 20
Notes for Property Owner
You need to consider whether:
You can justify cancellation for cause, because the agent is not satisfactorily performing the agent's
obligations under the agency contract.
The agency contract has a cancellation period, which you will need to keep to, unless there has been a
serious breach of the agent's contractual responsibility to you.
If you cancel and appoint a new sole/exclusive agent, are you prepared to pay double commission if you
later accept an offer through the agent you are now giving notice to, or from a person originally
introduced by that agent.
If in doubt about your prior agency obligations you should consult your solicitor.
