    We are in the process of selling a development site (high density residential) in Sydney. What kind of deposits (%) can we expect typically excluding some outlier cases?

    Do you need 30 day written notice to end an exclusive agency agreement if the agreement is for 90 days and it hasn't expired yet (2 weeks to go)?

    Thanks

    I've got a B2 zoning site and got offers with deposit between 5% to 10%.

    In regards to exclusive agency agreement, I think you need to check the original agreement document and see if you can terminate the agreement if it hasn't expired.

    Thanks for the reply, FireDragon. Anyone else? My agent is trying to make it sound like 1% is normal before the boom we have right now, which doesn't make sense to me at all.

    I echo @FireDragon comments. 5-10%. At least thats the most common thing i've seen personally.
