Many beneficiaries found it confusing that they were required to sign a sale agreement. Some were concerned that were being tricked into selling their properties. When it was made clear that it was the housing authority who was selling the property to them, some were concerned that they would have to pay for the property.
To avoid these misunderstanding it may be easier to refer to the sale agreement as a deed of transfer, or simply an agreement to transfer.
