Frequent Risk Signals

• Cooling-off penalty: Under Queensland law, if you rescind the contract during the 5-business-day statutory cooling-off period, the seller is legally entitled to retain a penalty of 0.25% of the purchase price directly from your deposit.
• Strict timeframes: The standard REIQ contract requires you to notify the seller of your decision to terminate by 5:00 PM on the relevant condition date; missing this deadline by even one minute means you lose your right to rescind.
• Loss of full deposit: If you attempt a rescission of contract without a valid legal or contractual basis, you risk being in breach, allowing the seller to terminate and keep your entire deposit (which can be up to 10% of the purchase price).
• Unreasonable withholding: When rescinding under a building and pest condition, the REIQ contract explicitly states you must act reasonably; if you cancel over minor cosmetic defects, the seller may challenge the rescission in court.
• Communication failures: A major buyer's risk occurs if the termination notice is not provided in writing and delivered exactly as prescribed by the REIQ Terms of Contract, rendering the cancellation legally invalid.
• Default interest and damages: If an invalid rescission leads to a failure to settle on time, the seller can sue you for their financial loss on a future resale, plus default interest accumulating daily.
