Frequent Risk Signals

• Total Deposit Forfeiture: If you fail to settle on the property, the seller is generally entitled to keep your entire 10% deposit as liquidated damages under the standard ACT Contract terms.
• Valuation Shortfall: If your bank’s valuation comes in lower than the purchase price, you must bridge the financial gap with your own cash; you cannot withdraw from an unconditional contract due to a lack of funds.
• Loss of Cooling-Off Rights: In the Australian Capital Territory, going unconditional often involves a solicitor signing a Section 17 Certificate to waive your right to a cooling-off period, meaning there is no "safety net" timeframe to change your mind.
• Structural and Pest Issues: By signing unconditionally, you accept the property in its current state; if you discover major structural defects or termite damage after exchange, you have no legal right to demand repairs or terminate the deal.
• Suits for Specific Performance: Beyond keeping your deposit, a seller may sue you for "specific performance" to legally force you to complete the purchase, or sue for damages if they eventually sell the property to someone else for a lower price.
• Default Interest Penalties: If your finance is delayed and you cannot settle on the scheduled date, the ACT Contract typically allows the seller to charge heavy daily interest (often 10% to 12% per annum) until settlement occurs.
