What is an EOI (Expression of Interest)?

An EOI is a method of sale whereby property is offered during a specified timeframe (more often than not in a very short time frame) prior to formal release or due to other circumstances. The EOI is a “Request for a Contract of Sale”

Why do sellers use EOIs?

Developers that choose the EOI method generally want –

  • Some commitment from the purchaser, and the initial or holding Deposit proves that the purchaser is genuine in their interest.
  • A much quicker sale, as the EOI is usually offered through agents that have clients looking for Property, instead of just listing it on the open market and waiting for people to find the listing.

NOTE: Although an expression of interest initial or holding payment, will halt the marketing of the property to other potential purchasers, it will not secure the Property, as it is not a full contract of sale, and therefore the agent or developer are not obliged under the EOI to sell you the property. Within the EOI there will be a Terms of Sale specifying a period of time when the Contract of sale must be completed.

What to My Initial or Holding Deposit Money?

  1. If you go ahead with the purchase then the Initial or Holding Deposit money becomes part of the total Deposit.
  2. If you do not go ahead with the purchase, then please advise your Strategic Investor Australia’s representative, who will provide a form for you to fill out, and the Initial Reservation Fee Deposit money will be refunded in full within 21 days of lodgement of the form with the Seller.
