The new cooling notice can be downloaded separately from the Law Society`s ECOS portal (see: www.lawsociety.com.au/ECOS).

In the ACTIONS column, select the Word icon or PDF icon to download the title pages or eContract clauses to print or save to a folder on your computer. The 2019 edition looks at the reforms of the residential area outside the plan, which, among other things, modify the legal cooling notice on page 5 of the contract on the sale and purchase of land. Reforms to residential areas outside the plan will be implemented through the Transfer (Sale of Land) Amendment Regulations, 2019, most of which will begin on December 1, 2019, with the exception of important transitional provisions regarding cooling notices, which will begin to be published. The main driver of the land sale and purchase contract of the 2019 edition (“2019 edition”) is the reforms outside the plan implemented by the Transfer Legislation Amendment Act 2018 and the Transfer (Sale of Land) Amendment Regulations 2019. The 2019 edition also includes other legislative and practical updates, including changes related to the eConveyancing, the GST on the Settlement Measure, and the Foreign Resident Capital Gains Retention Measure. Multiple contracts for multiple properties are a variant of the suburban contract type and allow a number of separate properties to be listed in multiple contracts. This feature supports a faster method to create a number of properties at the same address without entering the information as individual purchase agreements. Multiple contracts for multiple properties typically cover a number of apartments, townhouses, or units at the same address.
An electronic contract is created for each individual property. Up to 20 individual objects at an address can be created with this function and separated by commas. For example, if the properties for sale are Unit 7, Unit 11 and Unit 18 at 23 Smith Street in Smithfield, the customer can enter 7, 11, 18 in the Address Range field for 23 Smith Street Smithfield and 3 contracts will be created. one for unit 7, one for unit 11 and one for unit 18. Electronic contracts created or purchased in the last 30 days are immediately available under “My Home”. The search function can be used to retrieve electronic contracts older than 30 days; ECOS will keep electronic contracts accessible for 12 months from the date of creation. The Rural Electronic Contract type allows you to enter descriptions of non-standard properties and land that are typically associated with rural properties. This includes property names and descriptions.
Once you have purchased a contract, you can use the downloaded copies with the watermarked address for the purpose of exchanging contracts for that particular property. Only one copy of the contract must be purchased and can be printed as many times as necessary for the respective transport. Multiple Properties on a Contact is a variant of the Suburban eContract type and allows you to enumerate a number of distinct properties in a contract. This feature covers things like Strata Title properties with separate garages. For each property listed in an electronic contract, the customer must select the primary address that will be used as a watermark on the clauses. Can I modify an electronic contract that I purchased after it was generated? For all registered users, a copy of each contract and the corresponding cover pages can be downloaded from MY HOME in the main menu. What are the changes in the eContract 2019 edition compared to previous editions? The first three pages of the Agreement may be modified by you at any time and in accordance with the copyright of the edition you are using.

Currently, only credit card payments through eContract are supported, however, prepayment of a number of contracts for registered users can be made in advance, so credit card processing is not required for every purchase.
If your firm or business wishes to pay in advance for a number of contracts by cheque or EFT, this may be taken into account in certain circumstances. Please send an email at the request lawsociety@lawsociety.com.au and a member of our finance team will contact you. You will receive at least two emails and if you have chosen to have the first two parts of the contract as well, you will receive a third email. The reason for this number of emails is as follows: The new cooling notice must be used for all exit contracts that will be exchanged from December 1, 2019. A separate page with the new cooling notice is available on the ECOS portal. The new cooling message must be used for all other residential contracts exchanged from 2 June 2020 inclusive. Multiple contracts for off-plan development is a variant of multiple contracts for multiple properties and allows the entry of a contiguous area. For example, apartments 1 to 100 are entered as “1 – 100” in the Address Range field. The purchase cost of multiple contracts is calculated based on the range entered, but only one physical contract is created that can be used by the buyer under copyright restrictions. The document “Summary of the most important changes in the 2019 land purchase and sale contract” contains the changes compared to the 2018 edition. It contains information on the above changes and other updates regarding the eConveyancing, the GST to the Regulations and the Foreign Resident Capital Gains Withholding Measure, as well as other legislative and practical updates. The summary can be found on the ECOS portal under the symbol “About the 2019 edition”.
