Frequent Risk Signals

• Daily Interest Penalties: Under the standard terms of an ACT Contract, if you fail to complete the purchase by the settlement date, you are typically charged interest daily on the unpaid balance of the purchase price, often at a rate of 8% to 10% per annum.
• Notice to Complete Costs: If the seller has to issue a formal "Notice to Complete" because you are in default, the liquidated damages clause usually requires you to pay an immediate fixed fee (often between $300 and $600) to cover the seller's additional legal administrative costs.
• Seller's Outgoings: You may be held liable for the seller’s ongoing holding costs during the period of delay, including land tax, general rates, and any body corporate levies that accrue while the property remains in the seller's name.
• Mortgage Costs: If your delay causes the seller to incur additional interest on their own mortgage or prevents them from discharging their loan on time, these costs are frequently passed on to you as liquidated damages.
• Deficiency on Resale: If the breach is severe enough that the seller terminates the contract and resells the property for a lower price within 12 months, the liquidated damages can include the entire price difference plus the costs of the second marketing campaign.
• Loss of Opportunity: For Chinese-Australian investors or first-home buyers, it is critical to note that these damages are payable in addition to the potential forfeiture of your 10% deposit if the contract is rescinded.
