Once you have found a suitable property that you are interested in buying, you must contact the owner to arrange a viewing..
After all preliminaries are made, and you are sure it is the right house for you... it is time to make an offer. In most cases the buyer will offer less than the seller's asking price. When considering what is the best price to offer, you need to quantify just how much less than the asking price would be a reasonable sum to offer. Items to keep in mind include: how much you have to spend, how badly you want the house, how many other buyers are interested, how motivated you think the seller is, how much work might needs to be done on the property, and how the property compares with similar properties in the area.
Certain criteria must be established prior to making your offer. These conditions must be satisfied, or you will not be able to go through with the purchase even after your offer is accepted. The first important factor in all offers is that the buyer must be able to obtain satisfactory mortgage financing. This needs to be clarified for the benefit of both parties, and should be established BEFORE making an offer.
Secondly, while not required, it is strongly recommended that you include a home inspection contingency. By making your offer contingent on an acceptable home inspection, you have the option to withdraw the offer to purchase if the inspection reveals major problems that neither you or the seller is willing to correct. It is your responsibility as a buyer to pay for the home inspection -- but it is money well spent.
A professional home inspection usually takes about two or three hours, and results in a package of information about the condition of your prospective home. The inspector will make recommendations about repairs that need to be made, and potential problems with the home. You can then adjust your offer to take into account the repairs -- either by asking the selling party to complete the repairs, or to reduce the purchase price of the home by the amount it will take you to have the repairs made.
Then, once you've got the house, you know exactly what needs doing to keep the home in good shape -- and you'll have a detailed list of all of the areas you may need to watch.
