Signing unconditional before finance is certain
Why waiving finance clauses is risky even with confident pre-chat, bridging/deposit bonds, solicitor coordination—not legal advice.
Finance clauses protect you
They permit withdrawal if lender consent fails—forfeiture risk climbs when unconditional.
Read contract deposit clauses carefully—lost deposits are conveyancer territory.
When unconditional still happens
Strong bridging equity, unconditional sale proceeds, long relationships with valuers—risk never hits zero.
Pressure-heavy campaigns love tight timelines—defer signing until solicitors and brokers have reviewed practical funding paths.
