Putting in offer prior to auction

[Lilli]

Thinking of putting in an offer on a property prior to auction which is in two weeks. I am wanting to make it subject to finance and building inspection however I am concerned that this will make our offer not look as tempting. Although I do not have written finance approved I am certain this will not be an issue. As far as the building inspection is concerned, I would not ever purchase without having someone look over it.

What do others think..??

Price aside, if your finance and building clauses have an expiry date by which you have to make a decision and it is before the date of the proposed auction, then they have nothing to lose.
