Property Offers
Whether you're buying, selling, or renting - an offer is essentially a formal proposal made by a potential buyer or tenant to secure a property, usually at a specific price and under certain conditions. Here's how it works in both sales and lettings:
ð Property Offers in Sales
When someone wants to buy a property:
They submit an offer to the seller (usually through the estate agent).
The offer includes the price theyâre willing to pay and sometimes conditions (e.g. subject to survey, mortgage approval, or sale of their own home).
The seller can accept, reject, or negotiate the offer.
Once accepted, it becomes the basis for the legal process (conveyancing), but itâs not legally binding until contracts are exchanged.
ð¡ Example: A buyer offers £270,000 for a cottage in Cholsey listed at £280,000. The seller might accept if theyâre keen to move quickly.
ð¡ Property Offers in Lettings
When someone wants to rent a property:
They make an offer to the landlord or letting agent, usually including:
The monthly rent theyâre willing to pay.
The move-in date.
Any special requests (e.g. pets, furnishing).
The landlord can accept, counter, or decline.
Once accepted, referencing and tenancy agreements follow.
ð¡ Example: A tenant offers £1,100/month for a 2-bed flat in Glasgow, with a request to move in early and keep a small dog.
The Offers made tab displays a grid of Offers made against a specific Property.
For each Offer the following information will be displayed:
