In property transactions, clarity is everything.
A recent legal digest in BusinessDay highlights an important principle: an agent cannot successfully claim commission merely for introducing a buyer or tenant. To succeed, the agent must show that a valid agency relationship existed and that the introduction was the effective cause of the transaction.
For developers, landlords, investors, and consultants, the lesson is simple: define roles early, document engagements properly, and ensure commission terms are clear from the outset. Good documentation does not just protect interests; it prevents avoidable disputes.
At Conifer Konstruktion, we believe that structured processes and clear agreements are essential to stress-free project delivery and sound business relationships.
