When "must" an Agent invest a deposit?
A deposit should only be invested if it is to be held by the Agent as stakeholder for at least 60 days. But you need a written authority to invest from both the buyer and seller. Here’s why.
Do Agent's have to prepare Form 32a Lawyers' Certificates?
No it can be done by the buyer's lawyer. Here's why. Section 365B of PAMDA provides that a Lawyer's Certificate must be given to the buyer when the buyer or proposed buyer of residential property engages a lawyer in relation to the purchase.
