# Selling in Western Australia: what do I have to give buyers?

Western Australia doesn't have a single pre-contract vendor statement in the way Victoria has the Section 32 or Queensland the seller disclosure statement. The contract itself, the Offer and Acceptance with the Joint Form of General Conditions, does most of the work, and your settlement agent or conveyancer prepares it. There are still a few things you must give or tell buyers.

### If you're selling a strata lot

Before a buyer signs, the Strata Titles Act requires you to give them the prescribed information about the scheme: the strata plan and by-laws, the levies, the scheme's financial statements and minutes, and details of any proposals that could affect them. Your strata manager supplies most of it. If you miss something, or something changes before settlement, the buyer may be able to pull out, so get the pack together before your first inspection.

**Hard copy or electronic?** The precontractual disclosure statement and its supporting documents don't have to be printed. You can provide them electronically, by email, if the buyer agrees to receive them that way, gives you an email address and acknowledges receipt, and they must be in the buyer's hands before they sign. Emailing everything as PDF attachments is the safest approach because it leaves a clear record of what was sent and when. A download link can work if the buyer agrees and confirms they've received the documents, but a link that later expires or goes unopened is a risk. Keep copies of what you sent and the buyer's acknowledgement, and if a buyer asks for paper, provide it.

### Other things buyers are entitled to know

* Anything that could mislead a buyer if left unsaid: structural problems you know about, unapproved works, disputes with neighbours or the strata, orders from the council.
* Pool or spa barrier compliance, and that the property will have compliant RCDs and smoke alarms at settlement; these are seller obligations in WA.
* Any encumbrances on the title, which your settlement agent will pull from the title search.

### How this fits with PropertyNow
