  • By a non-refundable deposit of 10% of the purchase price on the signing of the agreement.
  • By payment of the balance of the purchase price within 12 months from the date the 10% deposit is paid or upon transfer of title.

  • Pay the costs of registering a Transfer of Title and all other costs that are not specifically agreed to be paid by the City of Melfort within the agreement.
 
The purchaser agrees that if the Agreement is terminated, the purchase price shall be refunded to the purchaser less the down payment of $2,000 or 10% whichever is greater as consideration for non-compliance with terms of the agreement.
 
The Agreement for Sale of Land must be executed in the name of the purchaser. Upon the purchaser becoming entitled to the lot title, the City will transfer title to the lot in the name of the purchaser (s) prescribed in the agreement.
