Review of contract terms

If you’d like us to review the contract terms before you sign, you can either email a copy to contracts@sproal.au or upload it using the form below.

What is included

Once you have completed our onboarding process and we have confirmed that we are able to act for you, your contract review includes:

• Written advice emailed to you within 1 to 3 business days of completion of onboarding.
• A summary of your key rights, obligations and critical timeframes.
• Identification of legal risks or unusual contract terms.
• Recommendations for additional or amended clauses, where appropriate.
• Clear advice on your next steps before the contract becomes unconditional.

What is not included

Our contract review does not include:

• Negotiating contract terms with the vendor, real estate agent or their representative, unless specifically requested. Additional fees apply.
• Reviewing title documents or planning documents unless specifically requested. Additional fees apply.
• Advice on taxation, finance, insurance, building, pest, environmental or valuation matters.
• Advice outside the scope of conveyancing, including family law, leases, litigation or Council enforcement matters.

How it works

1. Email or upload your proposed contract and complete our intake form.
   1. For buyers, go to www.sproal.au/piform
   2. For sellers, go to www.sproal.au/viform
2. We will complete an initial conflict check to determine whether we may be able to act.
3. If there is no apparent conflict, we will send you our secure onboarding links.
4. Complete the required identity verification, customer due diligence and onboarding requirements, and pay the upfront fees into our trust account.
5. Once onboarding is complete and we have confirmed that we are able to act, we will review your contract and email our written advice within 1 to 3 business days.

Please note that under Australian Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing laws, we cannot review your contract, provide legal advice or undertake substantive work until our onboarding requirements have been completed.

Fees

The fee for a contract review is $495 including GST, plus disbursement.

The contract review fee and onboarding fee must be paid into our trust account before we commence work. Our trust account details will be provided after we have completed our initial conflict check.

Payment may be made by electronic funds transfer.

Important information

This service is available for Tasmanian residential (including vacant land and strata) property transactions only.

Additional fees may apply where:

• the contract is not the Law Society of Tasmania Standard Form Contract for Sale of Real Estate in Tasmania (2025);
• the property is commercial or otherwise non-residential;
• the purchase is off the plan or subject to issue of title;
• you are purchasing through a company, trust, partnership, SMSF, MyHome scheme or other entity (additional onboarding and beneficial ownership enquiries will be required); or
• you are a foreign purchaser.

If a company or trust is involved, we may need to identify and verify directors, shareholders, trustees, beneficiaries and other beneficial owners in order to comply with anti-money laundering legislation. A minimum additional fee of $250 + GST applies for beneficial ownership review, with further fees payable where the ownership or control structure is complex.

If your contract has not yet been completed, we are happy to assist with preparing or completing the contract details before signing. Additional fees apply at hourly rates, with a minimum fee of $50 + GST.
