A qualified acceptance is what you will receive when the seller is willing to accept your offer but wants to make some changes to the terms first. These changes might relate to the price, the date of entry, or other aspects of the transaction.

A qualified acceptance means that your offer has been generally accepted, but some negotiation is still required. Your solicitor will handle this negotiation, working to agree on terms that are acceptable to both you and the seller.

Once the seller’s issues have been worked out the seller’s solicitor will send your solicitor a ‘final acceptance’ and the missives (contract) are said to be concluded.
