What is the buying process for a shop or factory, and when do I get the keys?
Start with intended use and funds, then investigate title, condition and occupation. Put the offer and financing conditions in writing; progress through SPA, valuation, bank offer, legal documentation, required consents, redemption and completion. Handover follows the contract. Loan approval alone does not mean legal conditions or disbursement are complete.
What to do next
- Agree the due-diligence and financing checklist before booking.
- Track SPA, bank and consent milestones with your lawyer.
- Inspect and reconcile possession, accounts and keys at contractual completion.
No universal approval or key-handover deadline applies; title, state consent, tenants and construction can change timing.

Is the booking deposit refundable if the commercial loan is rejected or insufficient?
Not automatically. The signed offer, booking terms and SPA must be checked for a financing condition, required margin, deadlines, evidence and refund or forfeiture terms. Seller-deposit refunds and bank cancellation costs are separate issues. Do not assume residential developer SPA protections apply unchanged to a shop lot or factory.
What to do next
- Have your lawyer agree clear financing and refund terms before payment.
- Apply honestly and keep bank decisions and submission records.
- Notify the relevant party in writing within the contractual deadline.
Two rejection letters do not guarantee a refund unless the applicable terms support it; seek advice before missing a deadline.

After choosing a subsale home, how do I formally make an offer and booking?
Verify the actual property, owner and representative's authority, then make a written offer stating the price and conditions. Before any earnest payment, ask your solicitor to review the accepted terms, authorised stakeholder arrangements and receipt process. An informal message or payment alone does not settle every term of the purchase.
What to do next
- Confirm the specific unit/title, owner and representative's authority, and set out your price, inclusions and conditions in writing.
- Have your solicitor review acceptance, signing/payment deadlines, financing conditions and refund/forfeiture provisions before you commit.
- Verify the authorised stakeholder account and payment instructions independently; obtain a receipt and keep the accepted offer and records.
This is a subsale preparation process, not permission for a regulated housing developer to collect pre-SPA payments. Refund entitlement depends on applicable law and the reviewed conditions; it is not automatic.

What happens after choosing a subsale home, what documents are needed and how long is the whole process?
The stages generally cover title and financing checks, legal review of the SPA, required consents/redemption and loan documentation, payment completion and agreed handover. Some stages overlap. The actual contract, title position, parties and bank determine the dependencies and dates—not a universal number of months.
What to do next
- Ask your solicitor and bank for case-specific checklists: identity, title/prior SPA, ownership, existing charge and required financial records.
- Have the solicitor explain each SPA condition, completion trigger, consent, payment deadline and delay consequence before signing.
- Track who supplies each missing document, redemption/consent and funding step; agree handover only when the contractual requirements are met.
Signing the SPA does not itself guarantee consent, ownership registration or loan release. A solicitor must confirm the current requirements and your actual contractual dates.

When must I submit the complete documents to the bank and solicitor?
Ask the bank and solicitor for their current case-specific checklists and due dates as soon as the transaction starts. An accepted offer or SPA may impose separate deadlines. A bank's review target starts only when its own completeness requirements are met, not when some documents are sent to the agent.
What to do next
- Obtain separate dated bank and legal checklists, including who supplies each document and the contractual deadline it supports.
- Submit accurate documents through verified secure channels; obtain acknowledgement, outstanding-item confirmation and the bank's completeness date.
- Tell your solicitor promptly about missing items or delays and arrange any required written extension before an offer or SPA deadline expires.
There is no universal submission or approval period. Sending documents does not prove bank acceptance or fund release; keep identity and financial records off public forms and unverified channels.

These are general explanations. An individual property, application or agreement still needs confirmation.
