Local FAQs for Castle Hill

When should a Castle Hill auction contract be sent for review?

Send the contract and auction deadline as early as possible so the team can confirm scope and review availability.

Are strata records important in Castle Hill apartment purchases?

Yes. For a lot in a strata scheme, levies, defects and major-works history should be checked before you commit. Townhouses in a community scheme or on Torrens title have different records to check.

Can the cooling-off period be shortened or waived for a Castle Hill private treaty purchase?

Only in limited ways. The 5 business day cooling-off period can be shortened or waived only if the buyer's solicitor or licensed conveyancer gives the vendor a section 66W certificate, after explaining the effect of the contract, the nature of the certificate and the effect of giving it. The vendor can also extend the period in writing before it ends. There is no cooling-off period if you buy at auction, or if you exchange on auction day after the property is passed in.
