Agreement of purchase and sale is prepared by the lawyer that you are working with.

Contact the seller in order to get their real names, property address, price you are willing to pay, the deposit, request for a land survey of the property, among others.
Be sure that the name of the seller matches with the ID and property names in the order they follow each other.
If say your seller is called Mia Mbili, all details including ID and property details should have that name in that order.
Otherwise, if another document reads Mbili Mia be very cautious because legally this is a different person.
You may end up in trouble in future in case the person with second name (Mbili Mia) comes to claim the house which you bought from the Mia Mbili. Fraud cases happen like this.
Step 5: Negotiate
After negotiation there is an agreement in which transaction of the money should take place.

Cash payment lacks evidence just in case you need it in future. Payment is done either by mortgage or by Cheque.
