Frequent Risk Signals

• Deposit Forfeiture: If you fail to apply for finance or don't notify the seller in time that your finance has been declined, you could lose your entire deposit, which can be tens of thousands of dollars on a typical Western Australia property, a significant buyer's risk.
• Missed Deadlines: The REIWA Contract specifies strict timeframes for obtaining finance approval. Missing these deadlines, even by a day, can result in you being legally bound to purchase the property regardless of your finance status, exposing you to significant financial risk under Western Australia law.
• Inadequate Effort: Western Australia law requires buyers to use "reasonable endeavours" to obtain finance. Simply applying to one lender and giving up might not be enough; if you're deemed not to have tried hard enough, you could be in breach of the REIWA Contract.
• Conditional Approvals: A "conditional approval" from your bank is not full finance approval. If these conditions (e.g., property valuation, further documentation) are not met by the due date, you might still be deemed unable to secure finance, leading to potential contract issues despite initial optimism.
• Unclear Communication: Failing to provide proper written notice to the seller or their agent about finance approval or non-approval by the specified date can lead to disputes and potentially force you to complete the purchase, even without a loan, escalating your buyer's risk.
• Valuation Shortfalls: Your lender's valuation might be lower than your offer price. If this reduces the amount they're willing to lend, and you can't cover the shortfall, the "Subject to Finance" clause may not automatically protect you unless specific conditions around valuation are included or you follow the non-approval process correctly within the REIWA Contract terms.
