Document background
A Simple Deed of Sale is a fundamental legal instrument used in Hong Kong property transactions to transfer ownership of real property from a seller to a purchaser. This document is essential when conducting property transactions in Hong Kong and must comply with local legal requirements, particularly the Conveyancing and Property Ordinance (Cap. 219) and related regulations. The deed includes critical information such as party details, property description, purchase price, completion arrangements, and warranties. It should be used whenever there is a straightforward property sale without complex conditions or unusual arrangements. The document must be properly executed as a deed to be valid under Hong Kong law and will typically require registration with the Land Registry. It forms part of the permanent record of property ownership and is crucial for establishing clear title.
