Private Sale by Closing Date Process
At CVA, we provide prospective purchasers full transparency, fairness, and respect during the Private Sale process. To make our point, we’ve defined and outlined the process below so you’re across it prior to submitting an offer.
1. Submitting Offers:
Offers are due no later than the date and time advertised for the Private Sale campaign. They must be submitted through this form with every section completed, signed and emailed to the relevant contact persons by campaign closure. Any offers submitted after this time will be deemed as non-compliant.
Our point of view: we recommend all interested parties submit their best offer, as the vendor reserves the right to accept an initial offer or to deal exclusively with certain offers in a second round. If you can do so, we strongly encourage submitting an offer signed on a Contract of Sale as this may influence the vendors feedback and/or decision.
2. Review Process:
All offers will be compiled and presented to the vendor for their consideration after the closing of the Private Sale campaign.
Upon feedback, we will contact all parties promptly to communicate the vendors instructions relating to their offer. In the event of a second round, we will request all offers to be provided on a contract of sale with a deposit payable to the CVA Trust account, for the vendor’s consideration.
3. Contract and Settlement
Following the acceptance of an offer, a contract of sale will be prepared. At this stage, a deposit will typically be required to secure the property. The terms of the sale, including the settlement date, will then be finalised between the vendor and the successful buyer.
We are dedicated to maintaining clear communication and ensuring that all participants are fully informed throughout the private sale process by closing date. Our goal is to provide a seamless and respectful transaction for all parties involved.
