Frequent Risk Signals

• Continuing Liability: Even if you nominate someone else, you, as the original buyer under the REIWA Contract, typically remain fully liable for the purchase if your nominee defaults. This means if they don't settle, you're on the hook to complete the sale or face significant penalties.
• Deposit Forfeiture: Should your nominee fail to complete the purchase, the seller can often retain your initial deposit, potentially tens of thousands of dollars, as per the terms of your Western Australia property contract.
• Stamp Duty Implications: While a nominee clause can sometimes be used to avoid double stamp duty, incorrect execution or timing can lead to both the original buyer and the nominee being liable for separate stamp duty payments in Western Australia, significantly increasing your acquisition costs.
• Financing Hurdles: Lenders often assess the original buyer's financial position. If you nominate a new buyer with weaker financials, the original finance approval may become void, leading to delays or even contract termination.
• Seller's Consent: Many REIWA Contracts require the seller's explicit consent for a nomination. If the seller refuses, you cannot proceed with the nomination and are bound to complete the purchase yourself, adding a significant buyer's risk.
• Tax Consequences: For investors, using a nominee clause without proper legal and tax advice could trigger unforeseen capital gains tax or other tax liabilities for the original buyer, even if they never took possession.
