Making an offer

How you offer depends on how the home is being sold: by negotiation, at auction, by deadline or by tender. The listing's price line usually says which.

• Ask the agent on the listing how they are taking offers, and what the seller has said about timing.
• An offer is a written sale and purchase agreement. Talk the conditions through with your lawyer before you sign.
• Conditions, such as finance, a building report or the LIM, give you time to check before the sale is firm.
