Do I need to sign the house for sale?

Housing sales contracts must be signed by myself and are generally invalid. However, if the person signing on his behalf is his entrusted agent, or if he is not an entrusted agent and has no agency authority, but ratifies afterwards, the signature on the house sales contract is valid.

1. How long will it take for the buyer to sign the contract after paying the down payment?

There is no clear law on how long it takes for the buyer to sign the contract after paying the down payment. The specific signing time can be negotiated by both parties.

According to the first paragraph of Article 16 of the Measures for the Administration of Commercial Housing Sales, when selling commercial housing, the real estate development enterprise and the buyer shall conclude a written contract for the sale of commercial housing.

According to Article 27 of the Regulations on the Management of Urban Real Estate Development and Operation, the buyer and seller of commercial housing shall sign a written contract. The contract shall specify the construction area and usable area, price, delivery date, quality requirements, property management methods and the liabilities of both parties for breach of contract.

2. Does the house sales contract have to be witnessed by a lawyer to be valid?

The house sales contract is only valid under the witness of a lawyer. In essence, it is also a contract, and the parties conclude a contract through offer and acceptance. The Civil Code clearly stipulates that a contract is established when an acceptance takes effect.
