Why Use a Letter of Intent to Purchase

A letter of intent to purchase provides a starting point for a purchase’s negotiations and locks in an interested party’s spot as the purchaser. The letter acts as a symbol of the buyer’s intention and provides assurances that they will follow through with their decision.

Additionally, the letter allows sellers to introduce the arrangement’s general terms and conditions and prevent any misunderstandings before any further negotiations take place.
