Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Western Australia property contract review
How do WA property contracts differ from other states?
Western Australia uses the Offer and Acceptance format rather than a contract of sale. The process involves making a written offer that the seller accepts, rather than exchanging contracts. The standard conditions are set out in the Joint Form of General Conditions (JFGC).
Do I need a settlement agent or conveyancer in WA?
Yes. WA requires a licensed settlement agent or conveyancer to handle the transfer of property. ContractLens helps you screen the contract before you engage a professional, so you know what you are getting into.
What is the cooling-off period in Western Australia?
Unlike most other states, Western Australia does not have a statutory cooling-off period for residential property purchases. Once the offer is accepted, the contract is binding. This makes pre-purchase contract review even more important.
