DCV will apply for all necessary searches and certificates including Owner's Corporation information (if applicable) in order to provide you with sale documents at the earliest opportunity.
The Sale documents are provided promptly so that a Contract can be entered into. No prior offer or agreement whether verbal or in writing is legally binding. We can assist with negotiations if required so that the Contract can be clearly read, understood and interpreted at all times to avoid any future litigation that may arise as a result of wrongly worded terms and/or conditions or open ended terms incorrectly stated.
Once the sale documents have been provided, a successful sale has been negotiated, the purchaser makes an offer in writing and the vendor accepts the offer in writing, the Contract becomes a legally binding Contract and the date of the Contract is the date the vendor accepts the purchaser's offer. Subject to Section 31 of the Sale of Land Act 1962 the purchaser is entitled to a 3 business days cooling off period from the date of the Contract. Note: The 3 business days cooling off period is applicable to most transactions but not all ... is not applicable to any property sold within 3 business days either side of an advertised public auction date.
Once the Contract has been finalised, the cooling off period expires and the Contract becomes unconditional as to any special conditions that may have been included, we attend to all matters, procedures and/or requirements including liaising with any mortgagee and endeavouring to arrange for the early release of the deposit pursuant to Section 27 of the Sale of Land Act 1962 in order for the Title or Titles to the property to be conveyed to the purchaser in a timely professional manner at all times communicating with you all the way from A-Z available at any time, including after hours when available to assist you with any query, request, assistance or simply just support you may require or need. We are here to help and guide you all the way!! No question, assistance and/or requested support is considered silly or unreasonable. We understand the position you are in.
