Your Step-by-Step Guide to Selling Property Privately

HOW TO SELL YOUR HOUSE PRIVATELY IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA

Selling your property privately in South Australia is completely legal and allows you to save on real estate commissions while staying in control of the entire sales process. With the right preparation and legal guidance, you can confidently manage your sale from listing through to settlement.

Step 1: Prepare the Contract of Sale

Before advertising your property, have a solicitor or licensed conveyancer prepare the Contract of Sale and the required Vendor's Statement (Form 1). This document contains important property information, including ownership details, easements, zoning, and other legal disclosures. Your contract should also clearly outline any inclusions or exclusions to avoid misunderstandings later.

Step 2: Set the Right Asking Price

A well-priced property attracts genuine buyers and helps achieve the best possible outcome. Research recent local sales, compare similar properties currently on the market, obtain an independent valuation if needed, and seek local market advice to determine a competitive asking price.

Step 3: Advertise and Arrange Inspections

Once your property is listed, organise private inspections or open homes at convenient times (http://www.sa.gov.au/). Present your property well with quality photos and a clean, well-maintained appearance. In South Australia, buyers should also receive the Buyer's Information Notice (Form R3) before entering into a contract.

Step 4: Review and Negotiate Offers

Offers and counter-offers should be made in writing and may include conditions such as finance approval, building inspections, or settlement dates. Before accepting an offer, have your solicitor or conveyancer review the contract to ensure the terms are suitable and comply with legal requirements.

Step 5: Sign the Contract

Once you and the buyer agree on the sale terms, both parties sign the Contract of Sale. Each party receives a signed copy, and many sellers choose to mark the property as Under Contract while the transaction progresses.

Step 6: Exchange Contracts

The sale generally becomes legally binding once the signed contracts have been exchanged between both parties. From this point, the transaction proceeds according to the agreed conditions and settlement timeline.

Step 7: Understand the Cooling-Off Period

For most residential property sales in South Australia, buyers are entitled to a two-business-day cooling-off period after signing the contract and receiving the required Vendor's Statement (Form 1). Once this period has expired and any contract conditions have been satisfied, the sale moves towards settlement.

Step 8: Complete Settlement

Settlement is the final stage of the sale. On the agreed date, the buyer pays the remaining balance, ownership is transferred, and the keys are handed over. Your solicitor or conveyancer manages the legal documentation, financial adjustments, and title transfer to ensure the transaction is completed smoothly.

SELLING YOUR PROPERTY AT AUCTION

Auction Sales in South Australia

An auction can be an effective selling method for properties expected to attract strong buyer interest. Before promoting your property, appoint a licensed auctioneer and schedule the auction so it can be included in your marketing campaign.

For auction sales in South Australia, important documents such as the Vendor's Statement (Form 1) and the Buyer's Information Notice (Form R3) must be available for prospective buyers before the auction in accordance with state requirements.

On auction day, you'll nominate a reserve price, which is the minimum amount you're prepared to accept. Once bidding reaches or exceeds the reserve, the property is sold to the highest bidder. Properties sold at auction are generally unconditional, meaning there is no cooling-off period, and settlement proceeds according to the agreed contract terms.
