Going under contract

[Conor Duffin]

Hey guys!

so i found a house im interested in & I want to make an offer if they accept does this put it under contract? 

I don't know the procedure for "under contract" if i was to pull out for some reason does this cost me anything ? by going under contract does this protect the property from other offers ? and should I get the inspector before or after ?

Greatly appreciated Guys,

many thanks
