Conveyancing: Condition or warranty?

Often determining whether something in a property contract is a condition or a warranty can be difficult.

As a high level definition:-

A condition is when a party to the sale and purchase agreement has to do something by a specific date, failing which the property contract may fall over.

A warranty is a promise to do something (but does not always specify the date it must be done by), where failure to do so will result in a breach of contract.”
