Prepare a Contract for Sale in WA

Protect Your Sale With a Professionally Prepared Contract

Selling property in Western Australia? One of the most important documents you’ll need is a Contract for Sale. This contract sets the terms of the transaction and protects you from disputes, delays, and costly mistakes.

At RWS Settlements, we prepare contracts that are clear, compliant, and tailored to your unique property sale. Whether you’re a private seller, an investor, or managing a family transfer, we’ll ensure your contract meets WA requirements and gives you peace of mind.

Why a Contract for Sale Matters

Your Contract for Sale is more than just paperwork — it’s the legal foundation of your property transaction. It outlines the obligations of both buyer and seller, details the conditions of the sale, and ensures the deal is enforceable.

Using a generic or poorly drafted contract may put you at risk of:

  • Disputes over unclear conditions.
  • Delays caused by missing details.
  • Legal and financial exposure if obligations aren’t disclosed.

RWS Settlements prepares contracts in plain English while ensuring full compliance with WA property laws.

What’s Included in a Contract for Sale?

A properly drafted Contract for Sale should cover every aspect of the transaction, including:

  • Purchase price and deposit details – outlining amounts, due dates, and payment terms.
  • Settlement date – and any conditions attached to the timeline.
  • Inclusions and exclusions – fixtures, fittings, and other items agreed between parties.
  • Special conditions – such as finance approval, building and pest inspections, or repairs.
  • Legal disclosures – including title searches, zoning details, easements, and encumbrances.

Every contract we prepare is tailored to your sale, protecting your interests and ensuring your obligations are met.

Risks of Poorly Prepared Contracts

It only takes one oversight to derail a property sale. Some common risks of using a generic contract include:

  • Unclear conditions – leaving room for disputes.
  • Incorrect details – such as legal names or title references, which can invalidate the agreement.
  • Hidden obligations – like unpaid rates or undisclosed encumbrances, which may result in penalties.

With RWS Settlements, you’ll avoid these risks. We prepare contracts with precision, making sure nothing is overlooked.
