The Road to a Successful Sale

HOW TO SELL YOUR HOUSE PRIVATELY IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA

Selling your property privately in Western Australia is completely legal and allows you to save on real estate commissions while remaining in control of the entire sales process. By understanding the legal requirements and following the correct steps, you can confidently manage your sale from listing through to settlement.

1

Step 1: Prepare the Contract of Sale

Before advertising your property, have a qualified solicitor or licensed conveyancer prepare the required legal documents. In WA, residential sales are generally completed using the Offer and Acceptance (O&A) contract together with the Joint Form of General Conditions for the Sale of Land. Preparing these documents in advance helps ensure a smooth transaction once offers are received.

2

Step 2: Price Your Property Correctly

Setting the right asking price is essential to attracting genuine buyers. Research recently sold properties, compare similar listings, obtain an independent valuation if needed, and seek local market advice. A realistic price increases buyer interest and improves your chances of achieving a successful sale.

3

Step 3: Advertise and Arrange Inspections

Once your property is listed, organise private inspections or open homes at times that suit you. Present your home well by keeping it clean, tidy, and well-maintained. Buyers may also request a copy of the contract or ask questions before making an offer.

4

Step 4: Review and Negotiate Offers

In Western Australia, buyers typically submit offers using the Offer and Acceptance (O&A) contract. Offers may include conditions such as finance approval, building inspections, or preferred settlement dates. Review all terms carefully with your solicitor or conveyancer before accepting an offer.

5

Step 5: Accept the Offer

Once both parties agree to the terms and the signed contract has been accepted, the agreement generally becomes legally binding. At this stage, you may choose to mark your property as Under Contract while your legal representative manages the next steps.

6

Step 6: Understand the Cooling-Off Rules

Unlike some other Australian states, Western Australia generally has no statutory cooling-off period for residential property sales. Once the contract becomes legally binding, both parties are expected to proceed according to its terms, making it important to review everything carefully before signing.

7

Step 7: Prepare for Settlement

Settlement usually takes place between 30 and 90 days, although different timeframes can be negotiated. During this period, your solicitor or conveyancer works with the buyer's representative to complete legal documents, financial adjustments, and all settlement requirements.

8

Step 8: Complete Settlement

On the agreed settlement date, the buyer pays the remaining balance, ownership is transferred, and the keys are handed over. Once settlement is complete, your private property sale is officially finalised.

SELLING YOUR PROPERTY AT AUCTION

Auction sales are ideal for properties likely to attract strong buyer interest. Set your auction date before advertising so it can be included in your marketing.

On auction day, you'll nominate a reserve price—the minimum amount you're willing to accept. If bidding meets or exceeds the reserve, the property is sold to the highest bidder.

In Western Australia, auction sales are generally unconditional, with no cooling-off period. The successful buyer pays the deposit immediately, and settlement occurs on the date outlined in the contract.
