Financing confirmation before viewing

Hello everyone,

we discovered a house on Immoscout, which is being offered there by a private person (who only appears with a first name) for just under €500,000 (built in '84).

We have now requested a viewing appointment by email. The response:


"Dear Mr. XY,

thank you for your inquiry regarding the property in XY.

We would be happy to arrange a viewing appointment for Saturday.
However, I must ask you to bring a financing confirmation or proof of liquidity to the appointment. Due to the very high demand, we can only consider genuine interested parties.

Best regards,
XY."

[B]My question:

Is this procedure common?
We cannot even provide the bank with detailed data about the house yet.
Also, the financial requirement for renovations etc. cannot be assessed at all before a viewing.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards
Alex

Hello Alex,

I can't tell you if that's usual, but I would probably do the same if the demand is really that high. I don't want to waste time on "slowpokes."

Best regards,
Christian

Is this procedure common?

Can you really choose?

We can’t even provide the bank with detailed data about the house.
Also, the financial need for renovations etc. cannot be assessed at all before a viewing.

Have an initial meeting with the bank to get a financing framework certified.
Bring proof of equity and rub it in the seller’s face.

Best regards
Alex

We just had this topic a few days ago. I cannot link with Tapatalk. Just take a look at the posts in this subforum, the last post was apparently written by user Tox... yesterday. Regards, Yvonne

: but that was about the confirmation after the place was viewed.

@TE: there is definitely viewing tourism. And at the moment there is a seller's market; meaning, if the owners filter out only 3-4 serious interested parties, that's enough for them.

okay

thank you very much for your answers!
