Frequent Risk Signals

• High financial penalties: The standard Queensland Law Society default interest rate frequently fluctuates between 9% and 11% per annum, meaning a settlement delay on a $1,000,000 property could cost you roughly $250 to $300 in penalty interest for every single day you are late.
• Triggered by third parties: Under the REIQ contract, you are held entirely responsible for delays caused by your bank or mortgage broker; if your lender is not ready to transfer funds on settlement day, you still bear the buyer's risk and must pay the default interest.
• Payable before keys are handed over: You cannot finalise the property transfer or take possession of the home until all accrued default interest is paid in full alongside the remaining purchase balance.
• Sneaky contract variations: Property developers or private sellers often cross out the standard provision and insert a significantly higher custom rate (such as 15% or 18%) into the Reference Schedule, which legally overrides the standard Queensland Law Society rate.
• Does not prevent termination: Paying the default interest rate does not buy you unlimited time. Because "time is of the essence" in Queensland law, the seller may still choose to terminate the contract entirely, forfeit your deposit, and sue you for further damages if you miss the settlement deadline.
• Strict extension limits: While standard REIQ contracts now include a provision allowing either party to claim a one-off settlement extension of up to 5 business days, failing to settle immediately after this short grace period expires will instantly trigger the default interest rate.
