Frequent Risk Signals

• Waiver: In Victoria, you can waive your right to a Cooling-off Period, especially if you buy at auction or sign the Section 32 / REIV contract on the same day as receiving legal advice from a solicitor. Once waived, there's no turning back, significantly increasing the buyer's risk.
• Short Window: The Cooling-off Period is typically only three business days from the date the buyer signs the contract for a Victoria property contract, leaving very little time to conduct thorough due diligence or secure finance.
• Financial Penalty: If you decide to cool off within the permitted period, you will forfeit 0.2% of the purchase price to the vendor. This can still be a substantial amount (e.g., $1,000 on a $500,000 property), as specified under Victoria law.
• Exemptions Apply: Not all property sales are subject to a Cooling-off Period. Auctions, properties purchased within three business days before or after an auction, and properties bought by corporations are generally exempt, creating a high buyer's risk for those unfamiliar with these rules.
• Loss of Deposit: If you attempt to withdraw from the Section 32 / REIV contract after the Cooling-off Period has expired, or if an exemption applies, you risk losing your entire deposit and potentially facing further legal action for breach of contract.
• Misunderstanding: Many first-home buyers and overseas investors, particularly Chinese-Australian investors, misunderstand the strict conditions and limited scope of the Cooling-off Period, assuming it offers a blanket 'get out of jail free' card without consequence.
