A Contract of Sale is binding the moment you sign. Our licensed Melbourne conveyancers review your Contract of Sale and Section 32, explain every clause in plain English, and flag the risks while you still have room to negotiate or walk away.
When you find the right property and your offer is accepted, it is tempting to sign immediately. But in Victoria there is no standardised contract. Vendors and their agents draft the terms, and special conditions can be written about almost any aspect of the sale. Once you sign, your ability to negotiate is extremely limited. At auction, there is no cooling off period at all.
A professional review protects you from what is easy to miss:
Whether you want an expert opinion before deciding how far to take it, or a full written review before you commit, we have an option that fits.

*conditions applied
Every contract is different, so rather than a one-size-fits-all price we set out the service and our fee proposal clearly before we begin, with no surprises.
Always before you sign, and ideally before you make an offer. Once you have signed, your ability to negotiate is extremely limited, and at auction you have no cooling off rights at all.
It is the document the seller must provide disclosing information about the property, including title, rates, outgoings, planning restrictions and known defects. We check both what is in it and what should be but is not.
Yes, and it matters even more. There is no cooling off period at auction, so once the hammer falls you are committed.
Yes, and we recommend it. Reviewing before you offer gives you the most negotiating room.
For a private sale you generally have 3 clear business days from signing. It does not apply to auction purchases.
Yes. Off the plan contracts carry risks most buyers never see, including sunset clauses and developer variation rights.
Send us your contract before you sign it. Start with an initial assessment, and know exactly what you are agreeing to.
