Frequent Risk Signals

• Zero Cooling-Off Period: Under an Australian Capital Territory property contract sold at auction, you waive your statutory right to a cooling-off period, meaning you cannot withdraw from the sale without massive financial loss.
• Finance Default Risk: Auction conditions are unconditional; if your bank fails to provide the funds after you have signed the ACT Contract, you will likely lose your 10% deposit and may be sued for damages.
• Immediate Deposit Obligation: You must have 10% of the purchase price available for immediate transfer; failing to pay the deposit immediately after the hammer falls constitutes a fundamental breach of the contract.
• "As-Is" Purchase: You are legally deemed to have accepted the property's condition, including any structural issues or unapproved structures, which is a significant buyer's risk if you haven't conducted pre-auction inspections.
• Binding Verbal Contract: In the ACT, once the auctioneer announces the property is "on the market" and the hammer falls, your verbal bid becomes a legally binding obligation that is immediately formalised in writing.
• Vendor Bid Pressure: The auctioneer is permitted to make bids on behalf of the seller up to the reserve price, which can lead to rapid price escalations that may exceed your pre-determined budget.
