Form 1 is called the “vendor’s statement” which must be served on the purchaser by the vendor according to the law. The purpose of Form 1 is to put the purchaser on notice of any particular things that are related to the land to be purchased (e.g. mortgage, easement, rates, building and structural defects, etc)
If Form 1 is served before the contract is signed, the cooling off period expires two clear business days after the contract is signed by both parties.
If Form 1 is served after the contract is signed, the cooling off period expires two clear business days after the Form 1 is served on the purchaser.
Cooling off period does not apply if
(1) the purchaser is a company;
(2) you purchase by auction;
(3) it has been waived by the purchaser after getting independent legal advice
Hope this answers everyone's question raised before.
