So the house hunt is over and you’ve found the one. Now it’s time to make your offer. 🏡
Conditional or unconditional? Here’s the difference:
🔹 A conditional offer gives you time to tie up loose ends – confirm your finance, get a building inspection done and more. If conditions aren’t met within the agreed timeframe, you may be able to walk away.
🔹 An unconditional offer is a much bigger commitment. Everything needs to be in order beforehand, including your mortgage.
💡 In a competitive market, some buyers may choose this route to make their offer more attractive to vendors. At an auction, on the other hand, you have no choice: if your bid wins, you go unconditional on the spot.
Either way, a sale-and-purchase agreement is a legally binding document. Always speak with your lawyer before you sign anything.
