Making an offer

When you are confident you have found the right property you can make a formal offer subject to contract and to a satisfactory survey. You may have to pay a holding deposit at this stage to the estate agent, held on behalf of the buyer until it is time to exchange contracts. This will usually be refunded if the seller pulls out.
