1. Suspensive condition dates, occupation dates, breach periods, and transfer deadlines may be strict.
2. Estate agent, conveyancer, seller, buyer, bank, and municipal obligations may overlap.
3. The legal route may depend heavily on the exact signed agreement and notices already sent.
4. Payment and deposit disputes may require trust-account records and proof.
5. Transfer delays may be caused by third parties outside the attorney's control.

No outcome is guaranteed. Advice depends on the documents, facts, timing, legal position, opponent conduct, and the scope accepted in writing.
