What is a contract review?

Your contract of sale is one of the most important documents you will ever sign.

It contains clauses, conditions, deadlines and obligations that many buyers and sellers don’t fully understand until it’s too late. Finance conditions, settlement dates, penalties, tax adjustments are legally binding the moment you sign.

A professional review by your settlement agent uncovers issues early, before you become legally bound. Through SettleHQ, this review is included as part of your settlement service at no extra cost. It is not a standalone tool. It is expert protection delivered by the professional you have already chosen to handle your settlement.

Why it matters

What can go wrong without a review.

Most people sign their contract before they fully understand it. These are the most common issues a professional review helps you avoid.

01

Missing finance or inspection conditions

If these conditions aren't correctly worded, you may lose your right to withdraw if finance falls through or inspections raise issues.

02

Unexpected settlement date obligations

Settlement dates have legal consequences if missed. Understanding your obligations ahead of time prevents costly delays.

03

Unforeseen rate and tax adjustments

Council rates, water charges and strata levies are adjusted at settlement. Unclear clauses can lead to unexpected costs.

04

Penalties you didn't know existed

Many contracts contain penalty clauses for delays or defaults. A review ensures you understand your exposure before signing.
