FAQ
The basic elements required for the agreement to be a legally enforceable contract are: mutual assent, expressed by a valid offer and acceptance; adequate consideration; capacity; and legality.
Valid Offer: The offer must be clear and specific. Acceptance: The offeree must accept the offer without modifications. Adequate Consideration: There must be a fair exchange of value between the parties. Legality: The contract's purpose must be lawful.
If the buyer is not working with a real estate agent and does not have representation, the offer would come directly from the buyer. Represented buyers can also write their own offer letter and have their agent submit it for them.
There are four essential elements of forming a contract: offer, acceptance, consideration, and intention to create legal relations. Beyond this, the terms of the contract must also be unambiguous, and the parties must have the mental capacity to agree.
The Requirements of an Offer The statement of offer must show intent—The statement must reasonably be interpreted to indicate an intention to enter into a binding agreement. The offer must be communicated to the other party—An agreement cannot exist unless the offer is communicated.
A conditional offer lets you specify conditions that need to be met before the sale goes through, like getting a building inspection, LIM report, or finance approval. You need to meet those conditions within an agreed timeframe e.g. five working days.
After an offer is accepted, you normally have 10 days (or whatever is in the contract) to get an inspection done. That should be plenty of time. If something isn't up to par and you would like fixed, you can go back and ask for the seller to take care of.
