Form 1’s

While Buyer Beware applies to all purchases of Property in South Australia, there is some legal information that the Buyer must be advised upon by the Seller.

The Form 1 is the Sellers Statement that is provided to the Buyer that outlines extremely important legal information in relation to the Property.

It is important that the Buyer knows that they have cooling off rights and when they begin.

Advice
You should always speak to a Lawyer either BEFORE you sign the Property Contract and before your cooling off period ends to ensure that you understand what the Contract and Form 1 mean and how it will affect you.

It is in your best interest to fully understand the Form 1.

We work with you to understand the Form 1 so you can make an informed decision that is right for you and your family.

If you decide to cool off, it is important that you comply with the strict notice requirements.

Preparation
We can prepare the all important Form 1 document on behalf of Sellers.

It is important the Form 1 is prepared by legally skilled people qualified in the preparation of this document.

An incorrect or incomplete Form 1 can cause legal risks to the Seller and may jeopardise the sale.

Our Team are specialists in this area and we are here to help.

Asked to Waiver your Cooling Off Rights?

A legal waiver is when you agree to give away your rights, it’s serious.

You might be asked by the Seller or the Selling Agent to “waiver your cooling off rights” when signing the Contract. This MUST be considered very carefully.

It is important you do not sign any Contract before you waive your cooling off rights.

A Lawyer must explain the Contract to you before you sign, to allow you to waive your cooling off rights.

Let us take you through this process so that you can make your decision to waive your cooling off rights with peace of mind.

Only a Lawyer can provide the Legal Advice and sign a Waiver.
