Cooling-off periods of 3 business days,
apply to private sales of residential and small rural property sales.
The cooling-off period gives a buyer time
to consider the offer and it begins from the date a buyer signs the contract,
not from the date the seller signs it.
If a decision is made not to buy the
property, a written notice can be given to the seller of the seller’s agent and
a buyer is entitled to a full refund of any money paid, less $100 or 0.2% of
the purchase price, whichever is greater.
Cooling-off periods do not apply if you :
·Have bought a property at an
auction or within 3 business days before or after a auction
·The property is used for
industrial/commercial purposes
·The property is more than 20 hectares
and is used for farming
·You have previously signed s
contract for the same property (with the same terms)
·The buyer is an estate agent or
corporate body
You will feel more confident about your
investments when you make informed decisions.
