SA WORKED EXAMPLE
A Adelaide median sale, two ways
On Adelaide’s ~$850,000 median house, a 2.5% agent commission is about $21,250 before marketing. The same sale with Unreserved is a flat $900. That’s a difference of roughly $20,350 that stays in your pocket. See your South Australian commission below and compare it to Unreserved’s flat $900 fee. On an Adelaide median house, that’s more than $20,000 staying with you rather than the agent.

SELLING IN SA
What South Australia sellers need to know
Form 1 vendor statement required
SA requires a Form 1 vendor disclosure statement to be served on the buyer. Unreserved prepares your Form 1 and the supporting searches as part of the campaign.
2-day cooling-off on private sales
South Australian buyers have a short 2-clear-business-day cooling-off period on private-treaty contracts. It is worth knowing when you weigh a private sale against an online auction, which has none.
Fastest-growing capital, rising cheques
Adelaide has been one of Australia’s strongest markets. As medians rise, a fixed 2.5% turns into a much bigger dollar figure. A flat fee freezes your selling cost however high the price climbs.
Vendor disclosure in SA: Form 1 (Vendor Statement)
South Australia requires a Form 1 vendor disclosure statement, covering title, encumbrances, council and statutory details, to be served on the buyer before settlement. Unreserved prepares this as part of your flat-fee campaign. Cooling-off: Buyers in South Australia get a 2-clear-business-day cooling-off period on private-treaty sales. There is no cooling-off period at auction (or if the buyer bought at auction within 3 days).
Licensing & conduct in SA is governed by the Land and Business (Sale and Conveyancing) Act 1994 (SA).
