The Owner Finance Purchase Agreement is a specialized legal document used in South African property transactions where traditional bank financing is either not preferred or not available. This agreement serves dual purposes: documenting the property sale and establishing the financing arrangement between the seller and purchaser. It must comply with several key pieces of South African legislation, including the National Credit Act 34 of 2005 and the Alienation of Land Act 68 of 1981. The document is particularly valuable in situations where buyers seek alternative financing options or sellers wish to generate ongoing income through property financing. It includes comprehensive terms covering property transfer, payment schedules, interest rates, security arrangements, and default provisions, while ensuring proper protection for both parties throughout the duration of the financing period.
