    This probably applies more to Commercial or development sites, but how exactly does it work?
    Do you have to fill out a form with all the conditions you propose?
    Do you submit an offer like a silent auction?
    Do you only get one shot with an offer?

    Thanks

    With commercial you have a basic guide and essentially you lay all your best cards on the table.

    Thanks.
    What's is the basic guide?, a rough indication of what the vendor is seeking?

    Not 100% but sure i'll have a crack.

    Id say you list the conditions that you base the price on, unless something is provided for you to price against.

    You wouldn't be submitting an "offer" as a formal agreement to buy, it would be something for the seller to look at and consider. It would initiate further discussions and conditions between the parties to move to the next step and filter out serious buyers

    Don't express it too early, know when the exact cut off time is

    Looking in a bit deeper, doesn't seem very appealing as a buyer, unless you're a gun with plenty of experience.
    It just seems like it gives the vendor all the power and gives the impression they don't need to or won't sell unless everything is in their favour.
    I could be wrong...
    I'm referring to commercial property in the multi mils in this case.

    There could also be council involvement and conditions from them perhaps, or they are reviewing the buyers plans for DA
