What Does Putting In Offers mean?

Once you have eyed your property, then you are competing with other Investors in the market to get that property. As you know, the real talent lies in getting a prospective property for a low rate, so that you can totally eliminate the chances of getting a loss when you sell the property. If you are interested in a property, ask about the vendor – what do they want apart from a good price? Are they in a rush? Are they looking for an investors to purchase there property? Are they a motivated seller – e.g. have to sell because of moving jobs, divorce, financial problems? This information will give you an idea about how low you can offer. Try to get answers for these questions. This will give you a clear picture of why they want to sell the property. If they are desperate, you are halfway through. You can demand the lowest price, and come to a price which is still lower than the market rate.

It is recommended to put offers on a fax describing the conditions of your offer, advertising your good points and saying that the offer is subject to contract. Having something in writing for the estate agent to give to the vendor always has a positive impact and demonstrates your commitment. If you are desperate to get your offer accepted and do not mind taking a risk, you can offer a non refundable deposit in cash within say two days of the offer being accepted. Most of the cases will work out well in this manner, as it shows your seriousness towards the property. So, after putting the offer, if you can bargain and get the property below the market rate, then you have got a prospective property in your hands, which would fetch you much more than what you invested.
