Terminology
CONTRACT
Contains the terms and conditions of the sale. You should organise for your legal representative to review the contract prior to signing it. We cannot sell the property subject to a conveyancer or solicitor perusing the paperwork. Any variations to special conditions must be agreed to by the vendor’s representative.
VENDOR’S STATEMENT
Also known as the “Section 32” and contained within the Contract. This contains everything the buyer is required to know about the property (outgoings, building approvals, title etc). The equivalent of a road worthy certificate for a property.
COOLING OFF PERIOD
Once an offer is accepted and a .25% deposit is paid, the buyer generally has 5 business days to withdraw their offer to purchase. There is no cooling-off period when you buy at auction.
AUCTION CONDITIONS
There is no cooling off period when you buy at auction. If the property passes in and sold on the same day as the auction up until 12am the contract is still under auction conditions and therefore not subject to a cooling off period.
DEPOSIT
A deposit is taken by the Agent on the signing of the Contract. Usually 10% of the purchase price unless otherwise negotiated. The deposit is held in trust by the Agent and cannot be released until agreed to by the purchaser’s and vendor’s solicitor.
FIXTURES & CHATTELS
Fixtures are things that are permanently attached to the land so as to become part of the land. Chattels are things that are not part of the land. When land is sold, all fixtures (the house, and things permanently attached to the house) will pass to the Purchaser as part of the land.
If a chattel is to be included in the sale, it must be specifically listed in the Contract. If a fixture is to be removed from the property by the Vendor and therefore not included in the sale, then this must be specifically mentioned in the Contract.
SETTLEMENT PERIOD
An agreed time frame between purchase and the buyer taking possession or in the case of the property being tenanted, entitled to receipts of rents and profits. There is no such thing as a common settlement period - this depends upon the vendor’s situation, anticipated price range and type of property. Settlement terms can range from 30 days to even 150 or 180 days. It is recommended that you discuss your preferred settlement early with your agent.
SETTLEMENT
The buyer pays the balance of the purchase price and picks up the keys. Settlement is handled between your solicitor and the purchaser’s solicitor.
ADJUSTMENTS
The purchase price of the property is “adjusted” to allow for expenses that have been paid in advance or are owing at settlement. In other words, it is the seller’s responsibility to pay the rates and all statutory fees and outgoings until settlement.
STAMP DUTY
A government tax based on the sale price of a property.
