What are the minimum documentation requirements one has to expect while purchasing a source code of a product?

We intend to buy the source code of a particular product and we will be modifying the same to a different market.

well apart from the source code itself, which you should first compile to make sure you’re getting the full product i’d say you should get the

+ original requirements specification document
+ solution design / uml /architecture documents
+ application configuration details
+ unit test cases
+ compiler switches used for compilation
+ list of dependent libraries/components
+ QA and test docs detailing how the application was configured, deployed and tested.
+ ask about known bugs
