Cooper Adams' Offers & Purchase Application Form

-
[FOR LETTINGS OFFERS PLEASE USE THIS FORM - https://form.jotform.com/250692399026363]

Sales Offers:

We have sent you this form to submit your offer on a property you wish to purchase. Please fill it out carefully, as this is your opportunity to submit your best offer. Competing offers may be submitted simultaneously, and you won’t want to risk losing the property.

To increase the likelihood of your offer being accepted, it’s essential to be fully prepared to proceed. This includes having a mortgage agreement certificate from a qualified broker or lender—if you need assistance with this, we’re here to help—and a solicitor instructed with your ID checks completed (need assistance here too? We can arrange that). If you’re in a chain, we’ll gladly provide guidance to help make the process as smooth as possible.

At Cooper Adams, we are thorough in our approach to ensure a smooth, legal, and professional process for our clients. Some questions in this form may feel detailed, but they are essential for legal compliance and to represent your offer accurately to the seller.

This form allows us to record the specifics of your offer and your circumstances, ensuring the seller has all necessary information. You have the option to withdraw your offer at any point before contracts are exchanged or a reservation agreement is signed.

Rest assured, all information provided is strictly confidential between you and Cooper Adams. Your privacy is paramount to us, as outlined in our Privacy Policy.

Completing this form in full not only helps us but also strengthens your offer’s chances of acceptance. Serious buyers—those with cash, smaller mortgages, or fewer links in a chain—stand out, as do those with solicitors instructed and mortgage applications completed. We look forward to supporting you in your property journey.

Readiness to Proceed
Have you read through the 'Buyer Information Pack' supplied by Cooper Adams? This pack contains lots of information including the title (proof of owner), the title plan (the land you are buying), Law Society Property Information Form (TA6) - legal info about the property, the TA 10 form / the Fixtures and Fittings Form, (this form clearly identifies what is and is not included on the sale of a property.) TA7 form which has info all on the lease. We will also aim to include property sales details, our FAQ sheet, our own property report (Containing Local Sold prices, Mobile & broadband speeds, Planning history, Plot size & floor area, Flood risk, Conservation areas, Local schools, Leasehold info, Council tax, Full epc, Transport links and Transaction history.) You will need to do this before you offer. You are committing to buying a property and the information provided in advance. Why do we ask you to read the pack before you offer? We believe you need to know as much as possible before you offer - for your peace of mind and ours. Not seen the pack? Please ask us to email you the link.*

Yes
Have you read about our Reservation Agreements on this web page? - www.cooper-adams.com/blog/cooper-adams-secure-reservation-agreements - this is important as most of our sellers now request one.*

Yes
www.cooper-adams.com/blog/cooper-adams-secure-reservation-agreements
If your offer is an acceptable amount, would you agree to enter a Reservation Agreement to secure your purchase and stop the seller gazumping you or either side withdrawing from the sale? You should have been advised this at the viewing, please read this information before you proceed: www.cooper-adams.com/blog/cooper-adams-secure-reservation-agreements Buyers not wishing to commit to the purchase are in a weaker position, any buyer committing to a Reservation Agreement is in a far stronger position with much more peace of mind for both the seller and buyer. Most sellers require this with us, so if you refuse to commit to this, your offer is more than likely to be turned down. Like buying a brand new home a property is not taken off the market until this is done. UK Government recommend Reservation Agreements in their Guide to Sell a Home [www.gov.uk/government/publications/how-to-sell-a-home]*

YesNo
What reason would you not want to show commitment, and stop a seller withdrawing from you close to exchange of contracts? This could be due to a change of the seller's mind or they may accept a better offer from someone else. This could lose you thousands of pounds in legal costs. This is permitted under UK law. (Reservation Agreements stop this)*

Gifted Mortgage Deposit

If you are taking a mortgage and your deposit is being given to you, this is classed as a gifted deposit. If your mortgage deposit is gifted you will need proof it is a gift not a loan and will not need to be paid back. Providing proof that your deposit is a gift and not a loan, is the first step in getting a mortgage with a gifted deposit. This can be quite simple. A signed letter or document outlining that the deposit is a gift and not a loan is typically enough to satisfy lenders.

The letter needs to be from the name of the person gifting to you, along the lines of: Please accept this letter as my written confirmation that I/we, (name of person(s)) am/are gifting my/our (relationship to person receiving gift – e.g. nephew, son), (name of person receiving gift) the sum of £(gift amount) in order to purchase (address of new property)This gift is given freely, no interest will be charged and no repayment is required. There will not be any interest retained in the property being purchased.
If you have a gifted mortgage deposit can you provide this letter as well as a scan or screenshot of the money in the bank account? This will need to be emailed to us - property@cooper-adams.com - (Agents legally need to know where all the purchase funds are coming from under AML laws.)*

YesNoNot applicable, I do not need a mortgage gifted deposit.
Buyer's Anti-Money Laundering Check

Both the following ID documents are required:

1. ID documents for all buyers (Current passport, a resident permit issued by the Home Office, or a current UK driving licence).

Please upload both AML ID documents
