About this template

What is this template?

This document is a three-party contract between a seller, a buyer, and a lender for the transfer of real estate title. It specifically includes the lender as a party to ensure the mortgage is discharged simultaneously with the sale. It is not a standard two-party sale deed as it requires the Mortgagee to acknowledge receipt of funds and return the title documents.

When should you use it?

Use this agreement when the property being sold is encumbered by an existing mortgage that will be cleared using the sale proceeds. Use a standard Agreement for Sale if the property is already free from all encumbrances and liens.

What's inside

Templates in our curated library are professionally drafted for US or UK law. The wider library comes from the GitLaw community and public sources - a solid starting point, but check any template fits your situation before you rely on it.

Mostly US and UK law. Some templates use general commercial terms that work across jurisdictions, and many note which law they're written for.

It depends on the situation. Templates work well for routine business agreements. For anything involving significant money, complex IP, employment, or areas you're unsure about, it's worth getting professional advice before you sign. GitLaw provides templates and tools, not legal advice.
