How To Make A Conditional Offer More Appealing

Losing out on homes because your offer looks “too hard” is brutal, especially when you’re a first home buyer trying to tick every box the bank and your lawyer require. We kick off with a real question from Facebook: finance condition (15 working days), KiwiSaver, valuation, builder’s report, and a LIM report, then multiple declined offers with the hint that the conditions are the problem.
