AU Australia property term
Private Treaty Sale
Western Australia
Plain-English definition
A sale method in which the property is marketed and the seller negotiates offers with buyers rather than selling through an auction.
Why this matters to a foreign buyer
In WA, private treaty sales commonly use the Offer and Acceptance contract and have no automatic residential cooling-off period. Put every required condition in writing before signing.
