To note you interest in a property, you should ask
you conveyancer to do this for you on your behalf. This simply involves
your conveyancer telephoning or faxing your details to the selling agents,
noting your interest in the property. This is usually your Name and Telephone
Number. By noting your interest in a property,
the seller will not usually accept any offer until you have the opportunity
to make one yourself.
After having noted your interest in a property,
and you wish to put in an offer you should first get a valuation / survey
done. The page
will help you with this.
Once you have had the survey / valuation done, and are happy with everything,
you decide on a purchase price and date of entry with your conveyancer
and the conditions to go along with this, for example, to include the
cooker, and that the roofing is fixed. Also, when making your offer, make
sure your position as a first time buyer is emphasised. This immediately
puts you above other offers of the same price and maybe above, as you
are in the most flexible position, as you can move immediately, and have
less strings attached, eg, having to sell your own home.
The seller will choose the
offer that suits them the most, and not always the highest offer, often
the one where the moving out date suits them best for their future plans.
