offer

Is there anything wrong with this way of purchasing property: 1. Make offer 2. If accepted, then sign contract. 3. Quickly do Building & Pest, Strata, Valuation reports. 4. Consult Solicitor. 5. If something is pear shape then cool off. ? The risk of the above is: penalty of cool-off...

These days, can you still do all due diligence (strata, b&p, value etc) before submitting an offer? In my experience, the answer is No. Before we even got time to do all of these, agent will encourage you to submit an offer; he will word it in such way that "if you like it, I would...

Has anyone ever had an experience with an REA where they haven't been told there were already other offers for $XXX? I looked at a property yesterday for IP which is pretty new on the market and was told there'd already been a rejected offer of $315K (Currently advertised at $339,500). I...

hi I put in a verbal offer yesterday on a property at 9am. The ra said he didnt think the vendor would accept it as he wanted $3 K more. He said he would talk to the vendor. It is now 1.15pm, (the next day) and still havent heard from him. I forgot to put a deadline to my offer. I...

Hi I have tried typing into the search box unconditional. Trying to find threads that cover the topic, but nothing comes up :confused: Anyway I would like to hear some stories in which people have put an offer on a property *unconditional* Anyone have any good links to some threads? Is...

Fellows, I've been reading previous posts regarding writing an offer to buy a property. Let's say I find a property I like advertised for 300k and during my inspection, I find that the doors, screen flyers, etc, etc need replacement/repairs (a good reason to ask for a lower price). When...
