You should speak to your conveyancer as early as possible, ideally before you look for a property or before you decide to put your property on the market.
Never sign anything before consulting your conveyancer. If you are asked to sign a contract, request a copy of the contract first. Your conveyancer can then review the contract with you before you sign. There is no such thing as a standard contract.

New bill introduced in parliament to add further protections for buyers....



NSW Minister for Finance, Services and Property Victor Dominello said it would allow buyers to terminate a contract or claim compensation if they’re affected by changes to a building, and will force developers to provide a copy of the final plan 21 days before settlement.

This new bill changing the Conveyancing Act will also widen legislation to clarify that the NSW Supreme Court can award damages in such cases, as well as making sure buyers are provided with proposed plans, bylaws and schedules of finishes before contracts are signed, and extending the cooling-off period to 10 business days.

New laws award extra protection to off-the-plan buyers First-home buyer Paul Pierpoint was shocked to discover his finished apartment was nothing like what was advertised, but cases like his could be a thing of the past.

"Justice Rowan Darke on Wednesday ruled the developer had not acted justly or equitably in trying to rescind the contracts. He dismissed the bid to tear up the contracts, and awarded costs against him"
