Frequent Risk Signals

• Sunset Clause Vulnerability: Under standard REIQ conditions, sellers often insert a 48-hour or 72-hour "sunset clause" (or "kick-out clause"), allowing them to continue marketing the property and force you to make your offer unconditional or terminate if they receive a better offer from someone else.
• Strict Notice Deadlines: If you fail to formally notify the seller's solicitors about the status of your sale by 5:00 PM on the exact date specified in your Queensland property contract, the seller can terminate the contract or, worse, the condition may be deemed satisfied, leaving you legally bound to buy.
• Loss of Initial Deposit: If your sale falls through but you miss the strict legal deadline to terminate the REIQ contract, you risk defaulting on the purchase and forfeiting your entire deposit, which is often up to 10% of the purchase price.
• Finance Approval Complications: Australian banks rarely issue unconditional finance approval for a new purchase until your existing property has formally settled, meaning a delay in your own sale directly jeopardises your ability to meet your finance condition.
• Chain Reaction Collapses: The buyer's risk increases exponentially in a "property chain"; if the person buying your home fails to secure their mortgage, your contract for the new home is immediately at risk of collapse due to circumstances entirely out of your control.
• Weaker Negotiating Position: Because sellers view a subject to sale offer as highly conditional and risky, you may have to pay a premium of $10,000 to $50,000 over competing unconditional buyers just to have your offer accepted in a competitive market.
