What is an option to purchase

• An option to purchase is a contract whereby the owner of a property (seller) grants the option to the buyer to buy his/her property at an agreed price within an agreed time period for an agreed fraction of the price (usually 1%).

• During this time period while the option is in effect, the seller cannot sell his/her property to another party.

What is an Offer to Purchase

• Offer to purchase is also abbreviated to OTP, but this must not be confused with Option to purchase.

• Offer to purchase is offered by the Property Buyer to the owner (Seller).

• In layman’s term, it’s the buyer making an offer and signing an Offer to purchase to present it to the seller for consideration.

Why it won’t work at this moment?

•Currently, Seller agents are not sharing the commission instead favouring a direct customer walk in where they get full commission.•Buyer agent also have a hard time to convince the buyer that they should pay the buyer agent 1% or whatever agreed amount for buying a place.•In the case where seller agent is willing to share the commission (zero commission from buyer), buyer agent is hurried into making the property buyer commit into a deal.

In short, the Buyer agent cannot fully protect and look after the interest of the buyers.

The buyer agent typically do not show you the Option to purchase contract format and make you make an offer without ever seeing an option to purchase. In case you do not agree to the terms of the option to purchase, you will most likely lose your 1% deposit for an offer to purchase.

A typical property buying process – involving only the Seller agent

No Buyer agent present. Seller agent prepares Offer to purchase for buyer to sign and pay 1% deposit. However, seller agent does not normally show buyer the option to purchase document. (But they should)

This is not in your best interests.•The seller agent will perhaps present you with an offer to purchase for you to commit a 1% deposit and sign it.•Seller agent use you to make an offer which may be below the owner’s asking price, but which they think can still close the deal. •If owner accepts deal, but adds additional terms and conditions onto the Option to purchase? Does the property buyer have a right to back out? If Property Buyer backs out, will he/she lose the 1% deposit?(It is better a regulatory body specify what can be written into these OTP contracts and widely circulate it for public knowledge)
