Timeline at a glance

WeekAction
1Engage local solicitor + tax advisor
2Submit KYC package to preferred bank
3Lock preliminary mortgage term sheet
4Schedule valuation + draft SPA

The offer that lands with financing proof, compliance docs, and a draft closing schedule beats higher bids that still need to “check with the bank.”

Bonus tip

Create a secure Notion or Dropbox space holding PDFs, bank contacts, and notarized translations. Share view-only access with the listing agent to demonstrate readiness without emailing sensitive attachments repeatedly.
