Jordan from Trinity Legal and Migration uncovers the hidden legal complexities in property contracts that can trap unwary buyers and cost them thousands.

• Special conditions in contracts often favor vendors with higher default interest rates and early deposit releases
• The 66W certificate in NSW removes cooling-off periods and protective clauses, creating significant risk for buyers
• Sunset clauses in off-the-plan purchases can be weaponized by developers to terminate contracts when property values increase
• Settlement periods carry different risks – too short creates financing pressure, too long exposes buyers to changing market conditions
• Trust and SMSF purchases involve complex structures requiring specialized legal knowledge
• Co-ownership arrangements need careful consideration as disputes commonly arise when one party wants to sell before the other
• Property deal collapses can sometimes be salvaged through price negotiations rather than termination
• Different ownership percentages between spouses can have significant tax implications
• Having responsive, proactive legal representation is essential as successful transactions often involve extensive behind-the-scenes work
