For auction purchases, there is no cooling off period the inspection must be completed before auction day, during the standard open inspection period in the weeks leading up to the sale. Book as early as the property is listed to secure your preferred inspection slot.
⚠️ Your options depend on your contract type and timing
Within the cooling-off period, you can withdraw from the contract (subject to the standard 0.2% penalty in Victoria). With a building and pest inspection condition in your contract, you may be able to negotiate a price reduction, require vendor treatment before settlement, or exit without penalty depending on the clause wording. For auction purchases with no conditions, options are limited — seek legal advice immediately. In every case, a detailed written report documenting the extent of activity and likely treatment cost is essential for negotiation.
