Display Contracts in NSW — What Needs to Be in Place Before Selling

In New South Wales, a property cannot be marketed without a compliant Contract for Sale.

This is often referred to as the “Display Contract”.

The requirement exists to ensure that buyers have access to key information about the property before making decisions.

In practice, this means that the contract must be properly prepared before the property is advertised.

This includes the title, prescribed documents, and relevant disclosures.

Where this is not completed early, the selling process can be affected.

We have seen situations where properties attracted interest quickly, however delays occurred because the contract was not ready for review when buyers requested it.

That can disrupt momentum.

The Display Contract is not simply a formality.

It is the document that frames the entire transaction. It sets out the legal position that buyers will rely on when deciding whether to proceed.

That is why preparing it properly at the outset is important.

At JKA & Co Conveyancing, we assist vendors in ensuring the contract is compliant, complete, and ready before the property goes to market.
