VIC-SPECIFIC
What Victoria requires that other states don’t

Mandatory before any contract is signed. Title, zoning, planning, building permits, owners corporation, easements, services, outgoings — we generate it for you and have it reviewed by a panel solicitor.
Underquoting laws
Consumer Affairs Victoria enforces strict rules on advertised price ranges. Our AI valuation produces a defensible band, and our listing tools enforce compliant range advertising.
Auction conditions
If you choose an online live auction, we follow the prescribed Victorian auction rules — including the public reserve disclosure and bidder registration.

FAQ · VICTORIA
Common questions from Victorian sellers
Is “for sale by owner” actually legal in Victoria?
Yes. The Estate Agents Act regulates who can act as an agent for someone else. You can sell your own property without a licence. Unreserved provides licensed support where it’s required (auctions, contracts, trust accounting).
Do I need a Section 32 even for a private sale?
Yes — Section 32 applies to every sale of land in Victoria, regardless of who’s selling. We prepare it for you.
What about the cooling-off period?
Buyers in Victoria have a 3-business-day cooling-off period for private sale contracts. There’s no cooling-off for auction sales.
How does the deposit work?
Deposits are held in a regulated trust account by our panel conveyancer. You receive the deposit at settlement, not at signing.
Do I have to register for GST?
Generally no — sale of your principal place of residence isn’t a taxable supply. Investment properties may differ. We’ll flag if your situation needs a tax adviser.
