Frequent Risk Signals

• Strict Timeframes: Under an Australian Capital Territory property contract, the finance condition usually has a very specific expiry date; if you do not notify the seller of a finance failure by the exact deadline, the contract may automatically become unconditional, forcing you to proceed.
• Loss of Deposit: If your finance is rejected but you fail to terminate the contract according to the strict notice requirements, the seller may be entitled to keep your entire 10% deposit as a penalty for your inability to settle.
• Best Endeavours Requirement: The buyer's risk increases if they do not actively pursue finance; the law requires you to make a genuine, "best endeavours" effort to get a loan, and if the seller proves you were negligent in your application, they can contest the termination.
• The Pre-Approval Trap: Buyers often mistake a "pre-approval" for a formal finance offer; in the ACT, relying on a pre-approval is dangerous because it is not a binding commitment from the bank and does not satisfy the legal requirements of a finance clause.
• Valuation Shortfalls: If the bank’s valuation of the Canberra property comes in lower than the purchase price, the lender may reduce the loan amount, leaving the buyer with a "funding gap" they must fill with cash or risk defaulting on the contract.
• Limited Protection at Auction: It is a critical buyer's risk to remember that "Subject to Finance" clauses generally do not apply to properties bought at auction in the ACT, where the contract is usually unconditional from the fall of the hammer.
