Making an Offer
Understand the terms before you sign.
An offer to purchase is more than a proposed price. It can set out your deposit, funding, deadlines, occupation arrangements, suspensive conditions and responsibilities before transfer.
DealCheck provides an independent commercial review of your proposed offer, helping you understand the practical implications before you commit.
What We Review Before You Make an Offer

Small Clauses Can Have Big Consequences
It is easy to focus on the purchase price and overlook the terms that shape the deal after acceptance. A deposit deadline, bond condition, occupational rent clause, special condition or guarantee requirement can affect your cash flow, flexibility and ability to proceed.
A review before you submit or sign gives you time to understand the offer, ask the right questions and obtain legal, financial or valuation advice where needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I request a Buyer Offer Review?
Ideally, before you sign or submit an offer to purchase. This gives you time to understand the proposed price, deposit, funding, conditions, deadlines and practical implications before you commit.
Do I need a completed offer to request a review?
No. You can send a draft offer, a blank template with the proposed terms, or an offer prepared by an estate agent. The more complete the information, the more focused the review can be.
What information should I provide?
Please provide the property address, listing details if available, your proposed purchase price, funding approach, deposit, intended occupation date and the draft offer to purchase. You can also include any concerns or special conditions you are considering.
Can you check the property details?
We can review available property information, including the registered owner, legal property description, zoning, recorded servitudes and relevant title-deed conditions that may affect use, access or future plans. Formal legal verification should still be obtained through your conveyancer or attorney, and zoning should be confirmed with the relevant municipality.
Can you help if I need bond finance?
We can review the practical implications of a bond condition, including the proposed amount, deadlines and supporting terms. We do not arrange finance or provide financial advice. A bank, bond originator or registered financial adviser can assist with finance applications and product advice.
Do you act as the agent?
No. Although we are qualified and registered property practitioners, DealCheck does not act as the appointed estate agent for the offer being reviewed. We do not hold the sales mandate, market the property, introduce buyers, or earn commission from the transaction
What is a suspensive condition?
It is a condition that must be fulfilled before the sale can proceed as intended—for example, obtaining a mortgage bond by a stated date or selling an existing property. The specific wording and deadline matter, so legal advice is appropriate for any concern about the clause.
Can you tell me whether I should make the offer?
We provide an independent commercial review to help you understand the offer’s price, funding, terms, conditions, timelines and practical risks. The final decision remains yours, and legal, tax, financial or valuation advice should be obtained where needed.
Do you provide legal or valuation advice?
No. DealCheck provides independent commercial property-offer guidance. We do not provide legal, tax, financial or valuation advice, and our review does not replace advice from an attorney, conveyancer, financial adviser or registered valuer.
How long does a review take?
We aim to provide your review within [one/two] business days after receiving the completed offer and required information.
What happens after the seller accepts my offer?
The next steps depend on the agreement. They may include paying the deposit, applying for finance, fulfilling any suspensive conditions, providing documents for FICA, arranging guarantees and working with the appointed conveyancer toward transfer. An offer to purchase typically records the price, payment terms, conditions, occupation date and transfer responsibilities
