Next, you will indicate to the estate agent that you have been pre-approved for finance.  Now you are at a point where you put in your best offer.  You will be required to complete an Offer to Purchase or OTP.  This is a contract of sorts that allows you to put into writing what you are prepared to pay for a property and to confirm what conditions your offer will consider.  Is your offer subject to you obtaining finance? Is your offer on the condition that you sell your current property?  If it is then you may need to get started on a free property valuation first.  It needs to be your very best offer.  If not keep searching but you will know by this point that it is absolutely exhausting.  Be sure to shop in the right price range and be prepared to put in your best offer to buy your dream home.
