Buyers FAQ

Do I need mortgage pre-approval before I purchase?

Will I need money to make an offer on a property and how much?

Yes, you will need money to make an offer, which is known as “earnest money”. Assuming both sides agree to the terms of the offer, earnest money is held in escrow (non interest bearing account) until closing and will be applied to the purchase of the property. The amount of earnest money varies, but typically ranges from $500 to 1% of the sale price of the subject property.

Do I need an attorney?

No you do not need an attorney when purchasing, however, Lipic Homes recommends that you obtain legal council to review contracts and other documents.

Are there costs and fees I am required to pay for in regards to inspections?

How soon can we move in?
