Frequent Risk Signals

• Loss of Deposit: If you, as the buyer, breach a crucial term of the REIWA Contract (e.g., failing to secure finance by the due date without proper extension), the seller can rescind the contract and keep your deposit, which can be tens of thousands of dollars.
• Legal Costs: Should your breach lead to the seller rescinding the contract, you may be liable for the seller's legal costs incurred in enforcing their rights and potentially remarketing the property.
• No Cooling-Off Period: Unlike some other Australian states, Western Australia does not have a statutory cooling-off period for residential property contracts. Once you sign the REIWA Contract, rescission is a serious legal step, not an easy exit.
• Difficulty Proving Misrepresentation: If you believe the seller misrepresented the property (e.g., undisclosed defects), proving this to legally justify rescission can be complex, time-consuming, and require significant legal evidence under Western Australia law.
• Missed Opportunities: If a contract is rescinded due to your breach, you lose the specific property and may face a rising market, making your next purchase more expensive. This is a significant buyer's risk.
• Forfeiture of Costs: Any costs you've already incurred, such as for building inspections, pest reports, or valuation fees, will likely be forfeited if the contract is rescinded, as these are typically non-refundable.
