Signing a land contract as a buyer is like signing up for a mortgage. This is unlike a Lease Contract Form, which is meant for rentals of owned property; it is an agreement to purchase. But instead of applying for a loan, however, the seller provides financing and you make payments in installments to the seller until you’ve paid for the property in full. In that event, the seller is obligated to transfer ownership rights to you.
The land contract is the document making this transaction official and legally binding.
A land contract might also be known as a contract/agreement for deed, a land installment contract (see Land Installment Contract Form), or installment sale agreement. Like any other basic Real Estate Contract Template, a land contract will include these details:
- the heading of “land contract” or “contract for deed”
- the names, addresses, and signatures of both buyer and seller
- a description of the property (a legal description of a property is usually recorded in a recent ownership affidavit, or it may be requested from the local recorder’s office where the property is located and registered)
- definition of payment terms
- terms, conditions, and limitations of the agreement concerning both parties
- the date the agreement was made
- the agreed date of conveyance of property under the agreed conditions
A land contract might also be known as a contract/agreement for deed, a land installment contract (see Land Installment Contract Form), or installment sale agreement.
