Frequently asked questions

StrikePrice is a direct-to-owner real estate platform. You set the price you want for your property (your Strike Price) and list it publicly. If a buyer accepts that price and meets your conditions, you're locked in at your Strike Price. The buyer takes a binding option and a short due-diligence period, after which it becomes a binding contract of sale. StrikePrice then coordinates the conveyancing through our conveyancers. No agent. No negotiation. No guesswork.

Listing is completely free. StrikePrice only charges one fee at settlement, nothing upfront: • Platform fee: Fixed from $4,400 including GST, tiered by Strike Price bracket • Conveyancing fee: Set by your chosen conveyancer Buyers pay $0 in platform fees. If your property doesn't sell, you pay nothing.

Your Strike Price is the fixed, non-negotiable price you set for your property. If a buyer accepts it, they take a legally binding option to buy at that price, and once their due-diligence period passes it becomes a binding contract of sale. There is no haggling, no best-and-final, no auction-day anxiety. You decide the number, and when a buyer meets it, you're locked in at your price.

Yes, until a buyer Strikes. You can update your Strike Price at any time from your owner dashboard. Any change automatically emails everyone who has expressed interest in your property, so they can re-evaluate. Once a buyer completes a valid Strike, the price is locked. It's now the agreed price under a binding option.

When a buyer accepts your Strike Price, they take a legally binding option to buy at that price and pay their Option Premium. After a short due-diligence period, it becomes a binding contract of sale. StrikePrice coordinates the conveyancing process through our conveyancers. Both the seller and buyer independently choose their own conveyancer from our conveyancers. Our team will be in touch with you and the buyer within 24 hours to begin the process.

It's a document StrikePrice generates automatically from your answers in the listing flow. It discloses material facts, easements, building permits, and other information buyers are legally entitled to know before committing. Prepared in accordance with the Sale of Land Act 1962 (Vic).

You choose your own conveyancer from our conveyancers. Both the seller and buyer independently select a conveyancer to represent them. Each party pays their own conveyancer directly.

The deposit is paid in two parts. An Option Premium (the greater of 1% of the Strike Price or $10,000, capped at $50,000) is paid into a legal trust account within 24 hours of the Strike. The Exercise Fee (the balance to bring the total to a 10% deposit) is paid into the same trust account within 24 hours of both parties signing the contract. The 14-day due diligence period runs from the moment of Striking. If the buyer withdraws during due diligence, the Option Premium is refunded within 5 business days.

Buyers get a 14-day due diligence period that runs from the moment they Strike. That's longer than the statutory cooling-off minimum in every Australian state. During this window the buyer may inspect the property, arrange a building and pest inspection, and review all documents. If they withdraw, the Option Premium is refunded within 5 business days. After 14 days, the contract is signed and the Exercise Fee falls due.

Your listing becomes inactive but all your photos, documents, and details are preserved. You can reactivate it at any time from your dashboard. It takes two minutes and is free.

No. StrikePrice is a direct-to-owner platform. You manage your own listing. No agent commissions. No auction fees.

Yes. For contracts from 1 January 2025, every Australian-resident vendor needs a clearance certificate, regardless of the sale price. Without one, the buyer is legally required to withhold 15% of the sale price at settlement and pay it to the ATO. The certificate is free from the ATO; most issue within a few days, but allow up to 28. Apply early to avoid delaying settlement.
