The contract on the second page lists all of the documents which are included in the contract. There are then a list of standard terms and conditions which are included in the contract which include approximately 30 terms which the parties agree to. Special conditions are then normally included in the contract. The contract will then also contain mandatory documents which must be included perform a valid contract such as the deposited plan, the sewer diagram, the title search, section 149 certificate, Strata by laws and any other information which is required in order to complete the transaction.
