The seller, for their part, will have the option to accept, decline, or make a counteroffer to your proposal. Once you\u2019ve agreed on the price of the property, you can finalize your purchase by proceeding to thestage of the preliminary sales agreement<\/a>, keeping in mind that you have a 10-day cooling-off period during which you can, if necessary, look into credit options for your financing.<\/p>\n This is a preliminary contract that clearly sets forth the terms of the sale between the seller and the buyer, particularly regarding the conditions precedent<\/a> when taking out a loan, which can be done private document<\/a>, but most often at the notary of your choice.<\/p>\n The preliminary sales agreement is a binding commitment to the seller. It is customary at this stage to pay the notary a deposit of 5 to 10 percent of the sale price, in case the buyer withdraws from the sale without valid cause after the withdrawal period has expired. The conditions precedent include a timeframe allowing the buyer to secure a loan and provide proof of financing. The preliminary sales agreement also sets the deadline for the final signing of the sale, once the conditions precedent have been satisfied.<\/p>\nHere are the 5 steps involved in buying a property:<\/h2>\n
