AU Australia property term

Vacant Possession

Western Australia

Plain-English definition

The buyer's right to receive the property without occupants and with the seller's belongings removed, subject to the contract.

Why this matters to a foreign buyer

If a tenant is in place, confirm whether the sale is subject to that tenancy or requires lawful vacant possession by settlement. Check this again at final inspection.
