Why contract reviews are important

Signing a Contract of Sale without legal advice can expose buyers to unnecessary risks, hidden obligations, and costly surprises. A contract review allows you to fully understand the terms of the agreement before you sign or bid at auction.

At Haitch Convey, we carefully review the Contract of Sale and Section 32 Vendor Statement to identify any issues that may affect your decision or create legal or financial risks in the future.

Some common issues we review include:

  1. Special Conditions: Some contracts contain clauses that heavily favour the seller or create additional obligations for the buyer.

  2. Easements, Covenants & Restrictions: We review title documents to identify restrictions that may impact how you use or develop the property.

  3. Owners Corporation Information: For apartments and units, we review Owners Corporation details, fees, rules, and potential liabilities.

  4. Off-the-Plan Risks: Off-the-plan contracts often contain longer and more complex conditions that require careful legal review before signing.

  5. Finance & Settlement Terms: We ensure important dates, finance clauses, and settlement conditions are properly understood.


Understanding the contract before signing can help you avoid costly mistakes and provide peace of mind throughout the buying process.
