WARNING STATEMENT ALERT! The Warning Statement must be attached to the front first page of the contract at the time the Buyer signs. If not, the Buyer can terminate the contract at any time before settlement. Often the agent will not have it attached or has other documents attached between them. Disaster can result!

FACSIMILE ALERT! Signing contacts by facsimile can be very dangerous and should be undertaken with legal advice if you want your rights protected. This is especially relevant for most clients who are interstate or overseas.

DOUBLE STAMP DUTY ALERT! If you sign a contract and later wish to change the buyers to add or delete a party then beware double stamp duty may apply unless the change is properly documented and effected. In particular, do not use "and/or nominees clauses" without expert legal advice.
