An offer is generally agreed upon in writing and your solicitors will draft you up a copy that each party will need to sign. Be sure to get legal advice from your solicitors or conveyancers and have them check over the contract. The legal process of selling a property in QLD is for you and the buyer to both sign the contract of sale. Once an offer is counter-signed by the vendor it becomes an enforceable contract of sale. Both parties will then need to be given a copy of the contract.
In QLD, the buyer of residential property is entitled to a cooling off period of five business days. The cooling off period commences from when the buyer receives a copy of the contract of sale signed by both parties.
The buyer can cancel the sale during the cooling off period, but will have to pay the seller a termination penalty of up to 0.25 per cent of the sale price.
When the contract has gone unconditional, all you will need to do now is to wait for the settlement date. This date agreed upon between yourself and the buyer when entering into the contract. Settlement is usually anywhere from 30 to 90 days.
At settlement the buyer settles on the sale any by paying the purchase price, less their deposit.
