Typical Conditions are things like: Finance being approved by the buyers bank, the buyer getting and being satisfied with a LIM (Land Information Memorandum), Reports completed eg. A Builders Report etc. Your Sales Consultant will also stay in touch with your buyer helping to co-ordinate actions regarding any conditions on the contract being completed.
