Identify the transaction stage
Record whether the issue arose before contract, after signing, during finance/inspection, before settlement or after completion.
Record the exact deadline
Contract, finance, cooling-off, notice and settlement dates can be strict. Surface those dates before ordinary follow-up steps.
Define the issue and outcome
Separate disclosure, defect, finance, delay, professional-service, settlement or payment issues and state the practical response sought.
Notify the appropriate professional
Use the verified agent, lawyer, conveyancer, lender, inspector or other professional channel relevant to the issue.
Avoid irreversible action without advice
Cancellation, refusal to settle, withholding money or signing a release can have significant legal consequences.
Important limitation
Property transactions can involve strict contractual deadlines and significant financial consequences. Obtain local professional advice before irreversible steps.
