The following section applies to Purchasers:

4.1 Requirements of the Successful Purchaser.

If your offer is accepted by the Estate Agent acting on the advice of the Vendor, Offr will send you an email confirming that your offer on the Listed Property has been accepted, at which point you will be deemed the “Successful Purchaser”. All offers (including the Contract for Sale) are accepted by the Estate Agent on behalf of a Vendor on a ‘Subject to Contract/Contract Denied basis’. For the avoidance of doubt, the Estate Agent is the only party with the authority to accept an offer made on a Listed Property on the Offr Portal.

4.2 Booking Deposit.

If you are the Successful Purchaser, you must pay the agreed deposit on the Listed Property as set by the Estate Agent acting on the advice of the Vendor, the “Booking Deposit”. The Successful Purchaser can pay the Booking Deposit required directly to the Estate Agent acting on behalf of the Vendor or via the Offr Portal by debit card, credit card or by bank transfer. All card payments made through the Offr Portal are processed by the Payment Facilitator and the Successful Purchaser could be subjected to a Service Fee (defined below). The Booking Deposit for a Listed Property will be held by the Estate Agent as stakeholder and is fully refundable until such time as the Contract for Sale is signed by the Successful Purchaser and the Vendor.

4.3 Service Fee.

The Successful Purchaser may be subjected to a fee by the Estate Agent upon finalising the payment of their Booking Deposit ("Service Fee").

4.4 Proof of Funds.

In addition to the Booking Deposit, you must upload satisfactory documents to the Offr Portal to prove to the Estate Agent you have the financial ability to complete the purchase of the Listed Property within two business days from the email notification of acceptance outlined in clause 4.1, if this has not already been pre-approved by the Estate Agent. These documents may include a bank statement evidencing you have the required financing for the sale of the Listed Property, the “Proof of Funds”.

4.5 Right to re-offer the Listed Property.

If you (as the Successful Purchaser) do not pay the required Booking Deposit and provide Proof of Funds within two business days from the email notification of acceptance outlined in clause 4.1, the Estate Agent reserves the right to re-offer the Listed Property for sale. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Estate Agent elects to re-offer the Listed Property, the Vendor may unilaterally revoke its agreement to enter into the Contract for Sale.

4.6 The Sale Agreed Period.

When the Successful Purchaser has paid the required Booking Deposit (and provided Proof of Funds to the satisfaction of the Estate Agent), the Successful Purchaser shall have a sale agreed period of three weeks to carry out detailed due diligence and to execute a binding Contract for Sale (the “Sale Agreed Period”). During the Sale Agreed Period, the Offr system will not allow any other Purchaser to place an offer on that Listed Property.

4.7 Legal Pack.

By the commencement of the Sale Agreed Period, the Vendor’s Solicitor will upload the relevant legal documents, including the Contract for Sale, into the Legal Document Vault (“Legal Pack”) and this will be available for download by the Purchaser’s Solicitor. We recommend that the Successful Purchaser downloads and reviews (or ensures that the Successful Purchaser’s Solicitor reviews on their behalf) the documents contained in the Legal Pack. For the avoidance of doubt, the Contract for Sale within the legal pack is made available on a ‘Subject to Contract/Contract denied basis’.

4.8 Execution of the Contract for Sale.

The Successful Purchaser is under no obligation to proceed to signature of the Contract of Sale. However, if the Successful Purchaser does not execute a binding Contract for Sale within the Sale Agreed Period, the Estate Agent reserves the right to re-offer a Listed Property for sale and the Vendor may unilaterally revoke its agreement to the Contract for Sale. Signature of the Contract for Sale will be done electronically by using the Signature Partner unless the Successful Purchaser requests to sign it manually.

4.9 You must comply with the Contract for Sale.

Once a binding Contract for Sale has been executed, the Purchaser is obliged to buy the Listed Property at the price of the accepted offer on the Listed Property plus VAT (if applicable) and proceed to completion of the transaction in accordance with the Contract for Sale.

5. Vendor Obligations

The following section applies to Vendors and Estate Agents:

5.1 Requirements of the Vendor (and/or Estate Agent) on successful completion of a Property Sale.

Subject to payment in full by the Successful Purchaser of the Booking Deposit to the Estate Agent in accordance with clause 4.2, the Vendor (or Estate Agent acting on the Vendor’s behalf) agrees that during the Sale Agreed Period it will:
  • use reasonable endeavours to ensure the Vendor’s Solicitor uploads the Legal Pack into the Legal Document Vault if the Solicitor has not already done so;
  • not instruct us to offer the Listed Property for sale through the Offr Portal;
  • not negotiate any terms for the sale of the Listed Property with anyone other than the Successful Purchaser or persons confirmed to be acting on their behalf;
  • not send, instruct, or allow anyone else to send any contract for sale of the Listed Property to anyone other than the Successful Purchaser’s Solicitor;
  • give such access to the Listed Property as may be reasonably required by a surveyor or valuer appointed by the Successful Purchaser;
  • use all reasonable endeavours to proceed to a formal exchange of the Contract for Sale; and
  • supply all documentation, information and authority to enable the Successful Purchaser’s Solicitor to do all work necessary to complete the sale of the Listed Property on the closing date specified in the Contract for Sale.

6. Estate agent obligations

The following section applies to Estate Agents:

6.1 In relation to a Property Sale you agree:

  • to always act in a professional manner and in the Vendor’s best interests;
  • to act only in accordance with the Vendor’s instructions in relation to the Listed Property; and
  • in the event the Successful Purchaser pays the Booking Deposit directly to the Estate Agent in accordance with clause 4.2, the Estate Agent must promptly inform us via the Offr Portal.
