第12條
For the purposes of clause 11, the following is the “Warning to Purchasers” — (a) Before you execute the formal agreement for sale and purchase which you have to sign if you go on with your purchase you should instruct a solicitor to protect your interests and to ensure that your purchase is properly completed. 如你繼續進行購買本物業，你便須簽署正式買賣合約，在你簽立正式買賣合約之前，你應聘用律師，以保障你的權益，和確保妥善完成購買本物業。 (b) You can instruct your own independent solicitor to act for you to conduct the purchase or you can instruct the Vendor’s solicitor to act for you as well as for the Vendor. 你可聘用你自己的獨立律師，以代表你進行購買本物業，你亦可聘用賣方的律師以同時代表你和賣方行事。 (c) YOU ARE RECOMMENDED TO INSTRUCT YOUR OWN SOLICITOR, who will be able, at every stage of your purchase, to give you independent advice. 現建議你聘用你自己的律師，你自己聘用的律師能在你購買本物業的每個階段，向你提供獨立意見。 (d) If you instruct the solicitor for the Vendor to act for you as well and if a conflict arises between you and the Vendor the solicitor may not be able to protect your interests and you will then have to instruct your own solicitor anyway, in which case the total fees you will have to pay may be higher than the fees which you would have had to pay if you had instructed your own solicitor in the first place. 倘若你聘用賣方的代表律師同時代表你行事，如你與賣方之間出現衝突，該律師未必能保障你的權益，屆時你始終需要聘用你自己的律師，在此情況下，你須支付的律師費總額，可能高於若你一開始便聘用你自己的律師的話會須支付的費用。 (e) You are free to choose whichever option you prefer. Please think carefully before deciding whether to instruct your own independent solicitor, or the Vendor’s solicitor, to protect your interests. 你可自由選擇。請在決定聘用你自己的獨立律師或賣方的律師以保障你的權益之前，詳加考慮。 * Delete as appropriate.
