Private Sales in South Australia

In South Australia, private sales are quite common — particularly between family members or related parties.

In these situations, the relationship between the parties usually removes the need for negotiation. The terms are already agreed, and there is a level of trust around how the transaction will proceed.

Because of that, many clients assume the legal side is minimal.

In practice, it is not.

Even in a private sale, the transaction still requires a contract, and depending on how it is structured, a Form 1 Vendor Statement may also be required.

The transfer still needs to be completed in accordance with South Australian requirements, and if a lender is involved, that adds another layer to the process.

Where this tends to become an issue is not at the time of agreement — it is later, where something was assumed but not properly documented or addressed.

That is where we come in.
