Frequent Risk Signals

• Notice to Complete delays: If the seller delays settlement, you cannot immediately terminate the Contract for Sale; you must first issue a Notice to Complete, giving them a reasonable timeframe (typically 14 days under New South Wales law) to fix the issue.
• Accommodation and storage costs: While waiting for a defaulting seller to settle, you may face thousands of dollars in unexpected temporary rent, hotel bills, and removalist storage fees that are incredibly difficult to recover.
• Locked-up deposit funds: If you are forced to terminate the agreement due to the seller's default, your 10% deposit remains held in the real estate agent's trust account until both parties sign a release form, preventing you from buying another property immediately.
• Expensive litigation: Forcing a reluctant seller to transfer the property (seeking an order for 'specific performance') requires launching proceedings in the Supreme Court of New South Wales, which can easily cost upwards of $50,000 in legal fees and take months to resolve.
• Mortgage offer expiration: A prolonged seller delay pushes you dangerously close to your bank's formal loan approval expiry date (usually 90 days), meaning you might have to reapply for finance at a potentially higher interest rate.
• Limited compensation rights: Unlike a typical buyer's risk where you must pay penalty interest for delaying settlement, the standard Contract for Sale rarely forces the seller to pay you daily penalty interest if they are the ones causing the delay.
