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.
