This service is suitable where a contract has been entered into and your cooling-off period has not yet expired, where time is of the essence.

Entering into a contract under a private sale (that is, the property was not bought at auction, or within three business days before or after an advertised auction) will typically include a short cooling-off period for the purchasing party. This crucial window of time serves the important function of allowing a purchaser to walk away from the contract, normally incurring a minor penalty that would be a fraction of the cost incurred by attempting to exit a contract once it is unconditional. Your cooling-off period can be a last-resort lifeline where a contract has been entered into in haste and defects or mistakes are subsequently discovered.

The contract of sale and s32 vendor’s statement will be thoroughly assessed by an experienced conveyancer, including reviewing the special conditions and ensuring all the legally required documentation is present. Your appointment will consist of a forty-minute phone call where we will clearly and concisely walk you through the contents of the contract, flag any potential issues, and give advice on what steps can be taken to safeguard your interests. During this phone call we will answer any questions you have. Your appointment will be followed up by an email to summarise the important points of our conversation and provide further resources for you to proceed with confidence knowing you are making a fully informed decision about your potential purchase.

Off-the-plan (OTP) contracts are typically much larger and harder to navigate than a contract of sale for a pre-existing property.
