Question 1

What is Pre Contract Review?

Accepted Answer

A pre-contract check that helps Victorian property buyers identify potential red flags, missing documents, and hidden costs in their Contract of Sale and Section 32 Vendor’s Statement.

Question 2

Is this legal advice?

Accepted Answer

No. This is a pre-contract check for informational purposes only. Always consult a qualified solicitor or conveyancer before making property purchase decisions. See our Terms of Service for details.

Question 3

How long does the review take?

Accepted Answer

Typically 2–4 minutes for text-based PDFs. Scanned documents may take a few minutes longer as they require optical character recognition (OCR) before analysis.

Question 4

What documents can I upload?

Accepted Answer

Victorian Contracts of Sale and Section 32 Vendor’s Statements in PDF format. Both text-based and scanned documents are supported.

Question 5

Does it work with scanned PDFs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If your PDF is a scanned image (from a photocopier or phone camera), our system automatically runs optical character recognition (OCR) to extract the text.

Question 6

What does the review check?

Accepted Answer

14 analysis sections including red flags with severity ratings, completeness score against the Sale of Land Act 1962, solicitor questions, cost extraction, action checklist, email drafts, and more.

Question 7

Can I compare multiple properties?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Upload multiple contracts and compare them side-by-side on risk level, red flag count, completeness, and costs.

Question 8

Can I export the report?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Download as a branded PDF or Word document to share with your solicitor, mortgage broker, or partner.

Question 9

Do you store my documents?
