Frequent Risk Signals

• High daily penalty interest: The standard Contract for Sale often includes a default penalty interest rate (commonly 8% to 12% per annum) calculated daily on the unpaid balance, which can add hundreds of dollars a day to your final settlement figure.
• Vendor's legal costs: You are typically forced to pay the vendor's additional legal fees for issuing a Notice to Complete, which under New South Wales practice usually ranges from $330 to $550 plus GST.
• Loss of the 10% deposit: If the liquidated damages and delays escalate to a point where you cannot settle within the Notice to Complete timeframe (usually 14 days in NSW), the vendor can terminate the contract and legally forfeit your entire 10% deposit.
• Resale shortfall liability: If the vendor terminates the Contract for Sale and resells the property for a lower price within 12 months, you are legally liable to pay the difference, plus their resale costs, as part of the broader damages claim.
• No proof of loss required: Under New South Wales law, the vendor does not need to prove they actually suffered out-of-pocket expenses; the liquidated damages amount is payable simply because the breach occurred.
• Strict timeframes: Even a one-day delay caused by your bank failing to transfer funds on time triggers this buyer's risk, leaving you financially penalised for issues often outside your direct control.
