Conditional offers: Everything buyers & sellers need to know
Get your sale or purchase right
AI summary
A conditional offer lets you secure a property while completing your due diligence, protecting you from financial loss. If conditions aren't met within the agreed timeframe, you can withdraw from the purchase.
Common conditions include:
- Securing finance
- A satisfactory building report
- Solicitor's approval of the LIM and title
In a multi-offer situation, fewer conditions make your offer more attractive to sellers. Always seek advice from a property lawyer before signing any sale and purchase agreement.
