What  does  happen when  the  contractdoes not comply?

If   one   does   not   comply   with   these   vendordisclosure   requirements,   and   all   these   turnout a problem with the property, then lendermay be able to cancel the contract for the salein that case you will also have to return theirdeposits. It could be very serious when you'vealready bought a new house. 

Are These Standard or Tailored Terms? 

There are so many terms of any contract forthe sale will be “standard” that means as theyhave been in use for a long time, and theseare generally considered to be fair  for boththe seller & the buyer. You do not necessarilyhave to include all of these standard terms inthe contract,   specifically,  when they do notreflect your needs or the property that you'reselling.

The solicitor will make sure that the contractfor   sale   that   does   not   only  meet   the   legalrequirements,  nevertheless,   it   is  also one ofyour best interests. That being said that thisis likely any buyer that will want to negotiatesome of the terms on that they are buying. 

What will be included in the sale?  Until thecontract   specifically   says   that  otherwise   theproperty is sold in the state of found, it alsomeans   that   any   fixtures   are   automaticallyincluded. The fixture is anything that it can'teasily be taken away without doing damageto the property.

The Fees Of The Agents

When the cost you should factor into the saleis   that   the   commission   of   the   agent.Normally, this is a great idea to shop around&  compare   real   estate   agents  &   theircommission   rates   of   various   agents   &   theservices being provided.

When buying & selling at the same time, thechances are you may be looking to purchase anew home at the same time as you are sellingthe   current   one.   In   that   sort   of   case,   it   isessential to try to make sure the settlementdate in both the contracts is the same.
