Seller stage
Review written offers, conditions and dates
Compare price alongside deposit, conditions, dependencies, condition dates and settlement. Ask the lawyer to review the agreement before signing or changing legal terms.
A higher price is not automatically the stronger offer. Finance, building inspection, sale-of-property and other conditions can change uncertainty and timing. Record exactly what the written agreement says rather than relying on a verbal summary.
In a multi-offer process, follow the agent's written process and avoid assumptions about what another buyer has offered. The seller may accept, reject or negotiate according to the agreement and professional advice. The workspace organises inputs but never ranks the buyer or recommends an offer.
After signing, condition dates and settlement arrangements become operational facts. Confirm responsibilities with the lawyer. If a condition is not satisfied or settlement may be delayed, get legal advice promptly rather than treating a website timeline as authority.
Questions to resolve
- What conditions and dependencies are written into each offer?
- Which dates must the seller or buyer meet?
- Has the lawyer reviewed the agreement and any counter-offer?
- What happens under the signed terms if a date is missed?
Stage checklist
- Compare the written offers side by side.
- Copy condition dates exactly and confirm them.
- Keep legal review separate from agent discussion.
- Record the selected offer only after the seller decides.
