Frequent Risk Signals

• Time of the Essence: In the standard REISA Contract, the finance deadline is strict; if you do not notify the vendor of your finance approval or rejection by the exact time and date specified, you may lose your right to terminate.
• Best Endeavours Requirement: You cannot simply change your mind about the purchase; South Australian law requires you to use "best endeavours" to obtain finance, meaning you must actually apply for a loan and provide evidence of a rejection if you wish to exit the contract.
• The "Deemed Satisfied" Trap: Some contracts are drafted so that if you remain silent past the deadline, the finance condition is "deemed satisfied," making the contract unconditional and putting your full deposit at risk if the loan eventually fails.
• Specific Lender Restrictions: If you name a specific lender in the REISA Contract (e.g., "Commonwealth Bank") and then apply through a different bank that rejects you, the vendor may argue you have not complied with the clause terms.
• Evidence of Rejection: To safely terminate under this clause, you must usually provide a formal letter of declination from a bank; a simple email from a mortgage broker is often insufficient to satisfy the legal requirements of the vendor's solicitor.
• Default Interest Penalties: If your finance is delayed and you miss the settlement date, the vendor can charge daily default interest (often 10% or higher) as specified in the South Australia property contract.
