Advices > Usually there are anticipated amounts ...
Once decided the price the house, usually there are given amounts on the account
to strengthen the commitment in as much are solved the pending terms for the
final celebration of the transaction contract (e.g.: pending verifications,
request of the hypothecating loan for the acquisition, etc.).
The formula and quantity to choose depend on the commitment degree that the
parts want to reach. Of minor to greater degree, the formulas would be the signal
and the option.
In case of the delivery of an amount for signal or arras, the buyer can lose
the given amount if he finally decides not to buy the house, or he can perceive
it duplicated in case that the salesman is who decides not to complete the transaction.
If greater it is the quantity, greater will be the commitment between the parts.
Another formula is the option. In this case, the salesman confers an option
of purchase for a determined price to the buyer. If the buyer on the expiry
of the option decides to exert it, the salesman has the obligation to materialize
the transaction.
Obvious the greater degree of commitment is reached formalizing the transaction
contract directly, in which the amount given initially is part of the agreed
total payment.
Like example, a salesman would accept a signal by a small quantity, he would
grant an option whenever the amount was not inferior to the 10-20% of the decided
price and would sign a transaction contract when the initial issue was superior
to 20-30% of this price.
Remember: The formula to choose to orchestrate the amounts
on the account depends on the commitment degree wanted to assume:
from the signal to the payment like part of the price in the
transaction contract. Do not forget to ask from the salesman
vouchers of the given amounts.
