New Contract of Sale of Real Estate now in use in Victoria (from August 2019)

As all Victorian property lawyers and conveyancers will know, from August 2019 there is a new standard form of Contract of Sale of Real Estate by the Law Institute of Victoria and the Real Estate of Victoria. 

You should now discard all of your old forms of contract and commence using the new form of the Contract. 

The updates incorporate a number of the previously drafted special conditions into the Contract as General Conditions, as well as other minor changes. 

The changes have resulted in the renumbering of a number of the previous General Conditions. However, the substance of the General Conditions remains the same.
