Frequent Risk Signals

• Default Interest: If you, as the buyer, cause a delay and require a Settlement Date Extension, the REIWA Contract typically allows the seller to charge you penalty interest on the balance of the purchase price for each day of delay. This interest rate can be significant (e.g., 9-12% p.a.) and can quickly add hundreds or even thousands of dollars to your costs.
• Loss of Deposit: While less common for simple extensions, if the delay is substantial and you ultimately cannot settle, the seller may be entitled to terminate the REIWA Contract and forfeit your entire deposit, a significant financial loss in the Western Australia property market.
• Seller's Termination Rights: The REIWA Contract specifies strict timeframes. If your requested Settlement Date Extension is unreasonable, or if you fail to meet the new extended settlement date, the seller might have grounds to terminate the contract, leaving you without the property and potentially liable for damages.
• Additional Legal/Conveyancing Fees: Requesting or agreeing to a Settlement Date Extension often means your conveyancer or solicitor needs to do extra work, such as drafting extension agreements or liaising with lenders, which can incur additional professional fees.
• Bridging Finance Costs: For first-home buyers or investors who are also selling a property and relying on those funds for their purchase, a delay can mean needing costly bridging finance or facing penalties on their sale, creating a cascade of financial pressure.
• Lost Opportunity: While indirect, a significant delay in settlement could mean missing out on other investment opportunities or having your funds tied up longer than anticipated, impacting your overall financial planning for your Western Australia property contract.
