http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contract_of_sale
"A contract of sale is a legal contract an exchange of goods, services or property to be exchanged from seller (or vendor) to buyer (or purchaser) for an agreed upon value in money (or money equivalent) paid or the promise to pay same. It is a specific type of legal contract."

"Dirección actualizada" would just be "Updated address"

Hi - I'm afraid I don't know which is best - "Purchase contract" seems to get more US hits on Google, and in general - but in the UK, it is the seller who prepares the contract, so I think "Contract of sale" would seem to be more appropriate. I don't think you can go wrong with that.

As to which property it applies to, from the text you have included, it isn't specified, so I wouldn't have thought you need to, either. I always think it is best either to ask the client/agency to clarify or go along with the ambiguity! :-)

Hope that helps!

Notes to answerer
Asker: Hi Communican - I put 'Purchase Contract'. Is this the same? Original address of what though? - the owner's previous/current address? Or the address of the new place he's buying (not yet built)

Asker: Hi Communican Thanks so much for your help. looked at the link and seems to be Sales Contract as you suggested. Will also take on board your suggestion of just translating directly re the original/updated addresses.


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  kgreenwood: Correct. Purchase contract is normally non-property. Bear in mind that the contract of sale does not convey ownership or title, that is done by the deed.

Address at time of sale contract


Explanation:
I think we're getting too bogged down with the legal terms here. It seems to me this is simply a form asking for the person's address at the time of the sale contract (never mind deeds) and then their current address
