Hi Everyone,

I would like to ask anyone what step should I do when making an offer to the Vendor/Agent. Should I make an offer first then after that say “Subject to Building and Pest Inspection/Finance Approval”?
Does anyone know any good solicitor in Gold Coast Area?
Hope to hear your input

Regards

Either or. If you make an offer in writing, you may include the conditions but it’s also usual to agree on the price first and then don’t sign the contract until you make sure all your conditions and dates are written in.

PS: It can be a good idea to make the inspection, finance and settlement dates “x number of weeks from receipt of confirmed contract from vendor”, rather than a fixed date. What happens is that you sign the contract and then it goes to the vendor to sign. You need it back before you can arrange finance etc.

Might I urge you to sek preapproval before you offer?

Just avoids another deadline.

I had a good one once, up the gold coast, but she seems to have vanished.

I also have clauses in the contract
