Frequent Risk Signals

• Strict Time Limits: Under the standard REIQ contract, a buyer must exercise their termination right before settlement actually occurs; failing to act promptly means losing the right to cancel and being forced to finalise the purchase.
• Proving Material Prejudice: It is a significant buyer's risk that not all disclosure breaches automatically allow for termination; Queensland law often requires the buyer to prove they would be "materially prejudiced" (substantially disadvantaged financially or practically) if forced to proceed.
• Forfeiture of Deposit: If a buyer attempts to terminate for a minor non-disclosure that does not legally justify cancellation, the seller may treat this as a wrongful repudiation, allowing them to terminate the contract themselves and keep the buyer's 5% to 10% deposit.
• Hidden Statutory Encumbrances: Sellers must disclose unrecorded easements, transport infrastructure proposals, or Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal (QCAT) disputes; missing these can land the buyer with tens of thousands of dollars in unexpected compliance or legal costs.
• Pool Safety Certificate Traps: If a seller fails to provide a Notice of No Pool Safety Certificate prior to signing, the buyer's risk increases significantly, though termination rights will depend on strict adherence to the Building Act 1975.
• Loss of Right to Sue for Damages: If the buyer terminates the contract under this specific clause, they generally recover their deposit but may forfeit the right to sue the seller for further financial damages, such as legal fees or building inspection costs incurred during the transaction.
