• receive everything that you bargain for and that there are no hidden

   surprises which you only find out about after you are committed to buy
• will be sure of what your rights are under the Contract including for

   example; what rights you have to terminate prior to settlement
• know exactly what else you are getting yourself into, including your rights

   and obligations under any leases or other contracts

   that they are in order

   planner)
