From 1 March 2020, a sunset clause in a residential off the plan contract must include the statement set out in s 10F (1) of the Sale of Land Act 1962.

The By Lawyers Conveyancing (VIC) Guide, which includes the By Lawyers Contract of Sale of Land, has been updated accordingly. The amendments are:

• New content added to Sale and Purchase Commentaries and 1001 Conveyancing Answers;
• Notice required by new s 10F (1) of the Sale of Land Act 1962 added to General Condition 9(a) of Part 2 of the By Lawyers Contract and special condition ‘Subdivision – Sale subject to Subdivision’ in the library of special conditions.

The By Lawyers Contract of Sale of Land is available to all LEAP users until 30 June 2020. Beyond that date it will remain available to LEAP users who have By Lawyers as a companion product to their LEAP or LEAP Conveyancer subscription. It can also be accessed by non-LEAP users through InfoTrack or the By Lawyers website by subscribing to our Victorian Conveyancing publication, which has many associated benefits such as full access to 1001 Conveyancing Answers.
