General information only. This is not legal advice and does not replace solicitor or conveyancer review.
What a Section 32 usually covers
A Section 32 can include title details, planning information, services, rates, zoning, building permits, owners corporation details and other vendor disclosures.
The documents can be long and technical, so buyers often use them to prepare focused questions for their solicitor or conveyancer.
Common items worth clarifying
Look for title restrictions, easements, planning overlays, building permit disclosures, owners corporation information and any special conditions that affect timing or buyer rights.
If something is marked not applicable, blank or unclear, your solicitor can confirm whether that is expected for the property.
Frequently asked questions
Is ContractPilot a Section 32 legal review?
No. ContractPilot is a preparation tool. A qualified solicitor or conveyancer should review the Section 32 before you sign.
Can a Section 32 show building permit history?
It may include building permit disclosures, but the meaning depends on the property and the wording. Ask your solicitor if recent works are expected or visible.
