English term

Balance Purchase Price

English Other Finance (general) Purchase Agreement
This term is related to purchase of company or property. It seems to be highly used in Malaysia, but also found in Australian web site, and looks like some kind of "escrow".

What is need: definition of this term. Some illustration will be more than welcome.

One context:

... until the date the Balance Purchase Price is fully received by the Vendor's Solicitors.

remaining balance due

The purchase price is what you pay for a property. Usually you give an initial deposit to hold the property. The remaining balance of the purchase price is paid at a later date. For example:

Sales price of a home $100,000

Initial deposit $10,000
Balance of purchase price $90,000
Purchase price (total) $100,000
Note from asker:
Hi Ray thanks. Just a question: is it normal to leave out the "of"? I mean my question is "balance pp"; in your answer, the phrase is "balance OF pp"

Thanks Jack
agree B D Finch : As shown in your answer, there is a missing "of the". In fact, inserting the "of the" is better than the answer you propose as it is redundant to use "remaining" with "balance due".

Thanks for your observation. I have seen balance due and remaining balance due on contracts. In my explanation I use "of the" in a complete sentence. Remaining balance due "to the disabled stockholder", "on a credit card" (complete sentences)
