Frequent Risk Signals

• Exorbitant Penalty Rates: The standard printed Contract for Sale often leaves the rate blank, but sellers typically insert a special condition setting it between 8% to 12% per annum, which is significantly higher than standard home loan rates.
• Daily Accrual: Interest is calculated on a daily basis on the unpaid balance of the purchase price, meaning a delay of just a few days on a $1,000,000 property can cost you hundreds of dollars in immediate penalties.
• Bank Delays Are Your Problem: Even if the delay is entirely the fault of your incoming bank failing to be ready for settlement, the buyer's risk remains entirely on your shoulders, and you must still pay the default interest out of your own pocket.
• Prerequisite to Settlement: Sellers in New South Wales will legally refuse to hand over the title or complete the transaction until the accrued default interest is paid in full alongside the remaining purchase price.
• Notice to Complete Triggers: If you delay, the seller can issue a Notice to Complete (usually giving you an strict 14-day deadline), during which default interest continues to rack up alongside additional legal fees you must pay for the issuance of the notice.
• Loss of Deposit Risk: If you cannot pay the accumulated default interest and the remaining balance before the Notice to Complete expires, the seller has the right to terminate the Contract for Sale, keep your entire 10% deposit, and sue you for further damages.
