Frequent Risk Signals

• Total Financial Loss: Under the standard REISA Contract, if you fail to complete the purchase, the vendor is generally entitled to keep your full deposit, which is typically 10% of the purchase price.
• Default Notice Period: If you miss the settlement deadline, the vendor will issue a formal default notice; if you do not remedy the breach within the timeframe specified (usually at least 3 business days), the forfeiture of deposit becomes a reality.
• Liability for Resale Shortfall: Losing your deposit may not be the end of your losses; if the vendor resells the property for a lower price within a certain period, they can sue you for the difference in price plus costs, credited by the forfeited deposit.
• Penalty Interest Accrual: In South Australia, vendors can charge daily penalty interest (often at a rate specified in the contract or the REISA defaults) from the original settlement date until the contract is rescinded.
• Recovery of Vendor Costs: You will likely be held responsible for the vendor’s additional legal fees, advertising costs for a new campaign, and holding costs like land tax and council rates.
• Agent Commission Claims: The vendor may use your forfeited deposit to pay their real estate agent’s commission, meaning the money is gone instantly and cannot be recovered even if you later settle your dispute.
