What's happening?
Property-related contracts aren't limited to buying and selling — they can include option agreements, licence arrangements, building contracts or other agreements affecting land. Understanding your obligations before signing helps avoid disputes later.
What could it mean for me?
- Unclear terms can lead to disagreement about what was actually agreed
- Some contracts include obligations that continue for years after signing
- Termination and default clauses set out what happens if things go wrong
- Contracts affecting land can sometimes need to be registered to be fully effective
What are my options?
- Have any property-related contract reviewed before signing
- Clarify ambiguous terms with the other party in writing
- Consider whether the agreement needs to be registered on title
What happens next?
- Provide the contract or proposed terms for review
- We explain the key obligations and any concerns
- Negotiate any necessary changes
- Finalise the agreement
