A Section 32 (also called a vendor statement) is the formal legal disclosure from the seller to the buyer. The title of the document refers to section 32 of the Sale of Land Act 1962.
The Section 32 statement contains all required information that affects a property and how it is used, such as annual rates expenses, property charges, building notices, and so on. The purpose of a Section 32 is for a buyer to have access to all relevant information that may impact their decision to acquire the property.
A Section 32 is a complicated legal document and, whether you're a buyer or seller, AANDI Lawyers recommends you approach one of our conveyancing experts for help.
The Section 32 is a legal requirement. If you don't provide it, the buyer may be able to walk away or scrap the sale. As a compulsory legal document, it must be completed accurately. Another important reason to provide one is so that the seller can keep the deposit should the buyer withdraw after the cooling-off period.
It is important that a buyer be fully informed of all pertinent aspects of a property so that they can make a fully informed decision.
A Section 32 must be provided to the buyer before the contract of sale is signed.
Buyers don't have to proceed with a transaction without a Section 32. It is important that the buyer ceases the purchasing process. The information within a Section 32 is critical to making a sensible financial decision.
An inaccurate Section 32 may entitle the buyer to terminate the contract of sale without penalty. It is a crime for a seller to intentionally provide incorrect information in a Section 32.
The law requires that you provide a Section 32 vendor statement regardless of whether you employ a real estate agent or do it yourself. AANDI Lawyers strongly encourages you to involve a lawyer from the beginning of the process.
When AANDI handles your conveyancing, there is no charge for reading a straightforward Section 32. In certain more extensive or complicated cases, a fee of $300 may apply.
Leigh has decades of legal experience and has held the Director position at AANDI Lawyers for over 8 years.
