Changed your mind after signing? Here’s what you need to know.
Buying a property is a big decision but what happens if you have second thoughts after signing the contract?
In Victoria, a cooling-off period may apply to some residential property purchases, however, cooling-off rights don’t apply in every situation and there can be costs or exceptions depending on how and where you purchased the property.
That’s why it’s important to understand your rights before signing, not after.
If you’re unsure about a contract or have changed your mind, speak to your conveyancer as soon as possible.
A few minutes of advice could make a big difference.
