AI summary
A conditional offer allows you to secure a property while completing your due diligence. The purchase is subject to specific conditions being met within a set timeframe, protecting you from financial risk.
Common conditions include:
- Securing finance
- A satisfactory building report
- Solicitor's approval of the LIM and title
If conditions aren't met, you can withdraw. In a multi-offer situation, fewer conditions are more appealing to sellers. Always seek legal advice before signing an agreement.
