An addendum is a text added to the original text, as it is excluded from the draft addendums, which are seen frequently in the case of text books where authors publish these texts that get added in successive revisions reprints. In real estate contracts, an addendum is a point or rule that was not a part of the original document.

An amendment is the correction of a mistake in a document pointed out by the buyer or seller in the case of a real estate contract. An amendment may be because of a legal requirement, or it may be because of a factual error in the document. Typing errors are also rectified by introducing amendments in official papers. This procedure is mostly seen in the business world. Amendments also, of course, refer to the guideline of the constitution of the United States.

Addendum and amendments are terms that are widely used in the real estate business. Amendments can be defined as making changes to an already existing agreement. It is commonly called an improving or correcting document because it alters the original document.

An amendment can only be made by the person that signed the original documents. It includes information like the price of vacating the house. The amendment is only part of the contract until a negotiation.

An addendum is adding to an existing document if something has been left out initially when drafting the documents.

An addendum is something that is added if it is accepted by concerned authorities. It contains an explanatory note of the requirement of the parties concerned; once an addendum is accepted, it becomes part of the whole document. Addendum becomes part of being a legal and binding contract.

Addendum and amendments are two terms that are often utilized in the real estate business. An amendment is used more than the addendum means improving the document. It is a correction of an error in a document printed out by the buyer and seller in the case of a real estate contract.

An amendment could also be used to extend information to the first document. It may include everything from price to relinquishing the house. An addendum is generally added to an existing document if something has been left out initially while drafting the document.

Regarding a real estate contract or purchase agreement, the document is attached to and made a part of the original contract when it is prepared and presented to the principles. An addendum is a passage that is added and made part of the original document only if the concerned authorities have accepted it.
