Making a suitable offer
A guide to your offer when purchasing a house
Buying a house is an exciting yet complex process, and making the right offer is crucial to securing your dream home at a fair price. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help property buyers in the UK make a suitable offer:
​
1. Research the Market
-
Understand Local Trends: Research the current market conditions in the area you're interested in. Is it a buyer's or seller's market? What are the average property prices?
-
Comparative Market Analysis: Look at similar properties that have recently sold in the area to gauge the market value.
-
​
2. Set Your Budget
-
Determine Affordability: Assess your financial situation, including your savings, mortgage pre-approval, and additional costs like stamp duty and legal fees.
-
Set a Realistic Budget: Establish a maximum budget based on your financial capacity and the market value of properties in your desired location
​
3. Assess the Property
-
View the Property: Schedule a viewing to assess the condition, size, and amenities of the property. Take note of any necessary repairs or renovations.
-
Consider Market Factors: Evaluate factors such as the property’s location, demand, and potential for future appreciation.
​
4. Consult with Your Agent
-
Seek Professional Advice: Work closely with a trusted estate agent who understands the local market dynamics.
-
Discuss Offer Strategy: Share your budget and preferences with your agent to devise an appropriate offer strategy.
​
5. Make Your Offer
-
Offer Below Asking Price: In a buyer's market or for properties that have been listed for a while, consider offering below the asking price. However, be prepared for negotiation.
-
Offer Fairly: Base your offer on the property’s market value, condition, and your budget. A fair offer increases the likelihood of acceptance.
-
Include Contingencies: Consider including contingencies, such as a satisfactory home inspection and mortgage approval, to protect your interests.
​
6. Negotiate
-
Be Flexible: Negotiation is common in property transactions. Be prepared to negotiate on price, closing date, or inclusions/exclusions.
-
Stay Communicative: Maintain open communication with the seller or their agent throughout the negotiation process.
​
7. Finalise the Deal
-
Agree on Terms: Once both parties agree on the terms, ensure all details are documented in writing.
-
Seek Legal Advice: Before signing any contracts, seek legal advice from a conveyancing solicitor to review the terms and conditions.
​
8. Complete the Purchase
-
Arrange Finances: Finalize your mortgage arrangements and ensure all necessary funds are in place for the purchase.
-
Exchange Contracts: Exchange contracts with the seller or their representative to legally commit to the purchase.
-
Complete the Sale: On the agreed completion date, finalise the sale by transferring ownership and receiving the keys to your new home.
​
By following these steps and working closely with your estate agent and legal advisor, you can navigate the process of making a suitable offer on a house in the UK with confidence.
