What we do
Developer Contract Review
Developer contracts favour the developer. We highlight the risk clauses, negotiate amendments where possible and explain in Chinese what the standard terms mean for you.
Sunset & Rescission Clauses
We review the sunset date, developer rescission rights and your ability to walk away with your deposit if the project is delayed or materially varied.
Deposit Bond & Trust
Advice on how your deposit is held, whether a deposit bond is available and what happens to your money if the developer becomes insolvent.
Settlement & Defects
Pre-settlement inspection strategy, defect notices, and coordination with your inspector so genuine problems are fixed before you settle.

Frequently asked questions
Can the developer cancel my off the plan contract?
In some circumstances yes, especially where a sunset date passes. Legislation limits this in some states. We check whether Tasmanian rules and the specific contract allow the developer to walk away and refund only your deposit while the market has risen.
What if the finished apartment is smaller than promised?
Most contracts allow a tolerance before you can rescind. We explain the exact tolerance and the process for objecting if the plans or area change materially.
Do I need FIRB for off the plan in Tasmania?
Non-residents usually still need FIRB, although new dwellings from a developer may fall under a developer exemption certificate. We confirm which pathway applies to you.
Can I on sell before settlement?
Only if the contract permits assignment or nomination. We check whether the developer's consent is required and what fees may apply.
