Best time to use
After receiving the draft CPCV and before signing or transferring the contractual deposit.
You send / you receive
Draft CPCV, reservation terms, property details and financing status. → Written clause findings, priority changes and buyer decision points.
A CPCV can commit the buyer before the full transaction is ready.
The CPCV usually fixes the deposit, deadlines, conditions, default consequences and route to completion. A clause that looks standard may place financing, document, licensing or timing risk almost entirely on the buyer. The review is intended to identify those exposures while the draft can still be questioned or amended, not after the buyer has signed and lost negotiating leverage.
What we check in the CPCV
The review concentrates on the clauses that determine the buyer's money, timing and exit rights.
Deposit and payment terms
We check the amount, payment route, recipient, timing and stated treatment of the deposit, including what the contract says happens if the transaction does not complete.
Conditions and financing protection
We review mortgage, due-diligence, valuation and document conditions to see whether the buyer has a clear route to terminate or extend if a required event does not occur.
Deadlines, default and termination
We examine completion dates, notice mechanics, cure periods, penalties and default provisions so the buyer understands the consequences of delay or breach by either party.
Property and seller obligations
We check the property description, seller authority, delivery obligations, vacant possession, mortgage cancellation and documents expected before the final deed.
Documents to send
The contract is reviewed against the information available at that stage. Missing transaction documents are flagged, not assumed.
- The latest draft CPCV, including annexes and schedules
- Reservation agreement and proof of any payment already made
- Available property documents or due-diligence findings
- Mortgage approval status, valuation position or proposed financing clause

Questions buyers ask
Is a CPCV review the same as property due diligence?
No. CPCV review focuses on the contract. Due diligence checks the property, seller, registrations and supporting documents. A buyer may need both.
Can the review protect me if the bank refuses the mortgage?
Only if the draft contains a workable financing condition and the relevant requirements, deadlines and evidence are clear. The review tests the clause but cannot guarantee loan approval.
What if I have already signed the CPCV?
The contract can still be reviewed, but the buyer's options may be narrower. The review then focuses on obligations, deadlines, evidence and the practical response to any problem.
Does the fixed fee include negotiation with the seller?
No. The fixed fee covers one CPCV review. Negotiation, amended drafting or broader representation is scoped separately when needed.
Do not sign the CPCV without understanding the buyer-side consequences.
