    After.

    If you wish, make your offer subject to a building and pest inspection if it’s not already in the contract.

    There is no hard and fast rule.

    Keep in mind that you may see things in the condition of the property (or in fact smell things such as mould or damp) that the advertising photos do not reveal. This would have an impact on the amount you are prepared to offer for the property, as well as your terms.

    In some cases the offer is legally binding, so you don’t muck around making offers for which you have no intention of going to contract.

    Generally best to view the property before making an offer.
