Frequent Risk Signals

• Cooling-off Penalties: If you exercise your right to rescind during the standard five-business-day cooling-off period under the ACT Contract, you must pay the seller a penalty of 0.25% of the total purchase price.
• Forfeiture of Deposit: Rescinding the contract without a valid legal or statutory reason after the cooling-off period has expired usually results in the buyer losing their entire 10% deposit to the seller.
• Strict Disclosure Timelines: Under the Civil Law (Sale of Residential Property) Act 2003, a buyer may have a right to rescind if the seller fails to provide "Required Documents," but this right is lost if not exercised before the contract is completed or within specific statutory timeframes.
• Service of Notice: A rescission notice must be served in strict accordance with the service provisions of the Australian Capital Territory property contract; failing to deliver the notice to the correct legal address or within the required timeframe can render the rescission void.
• Equitable Damages: If a buyer attempts to rescind a contract unlawfully, the seller may sue for damages, which could include the difference in price if the property is later sold to someone else for a lower amount.
• Unconditional Risks: Many ACT auctions result in an unconditional contract with no cooling-off period, meaning the buyer's risk is significantly higher as there is no immediate right to rescind if you change your mind or your finance is rejected.
