Contract review questions
Common questions about contract reviews in NSW
Plain answers based on NSW Government guidance. Every situation is different, so we'll confirm what applies to yours.
When should I get my contract reviewed?
Before you exchange contracts, or before you bid at auction. Once you exchange, you're bound by the contract, so any issues need to be picked up first.
Is there a cooling-off period in NSW?
For most residential purchases, yes. It's 5 business days after exchange and ends at 5pm on the fifth business day. Off-the-plan contracts have 10 business days. If you pull out during cooling-off, you pay the vendor 0.25% of the purchase price.
Is there a cooling-off period at auction?
No. Cooling-off doesn't apply if you buy at auction, or if you exchange on auction day after the property is passed in. That's why your contract should be reviewed before auction day.
What is a 66W certificate?
A section 66W certificate waives your cooling-off period, so the contract is binding from exchange. Vendors sometimes ask for one. We'll explain what you'd be giving up before you agree to it.
How quickly will I get my review?
Usually within 24 hours. Same-day reviews are available on request, and we can review contracts on weekends before an auction by appointment.
Do you review off-the-plan contracts?
Yes, but off-the-plan contracts are reviewed separately because they carry extra terms, such as sunset dates and changes to the plans. See off-the-plan conveyancing or get in touch for a quote.
