Buyer Beware (Page 1 / 2 )
Building Approval Certificates: As part of the Conveyancing procedure, this office will apply for a Form 10 Building Certificate for the local Council. This Certificate will give details of any building approvals granted and whether final inspections have taken place. However the Purchaser must be aware that even if the certificate shows that the vendor has not had final inspections on any structure on the land, the vendor is under no obligation to arrange for a final inspection or meet any requirements imposed by the Council. Any notice issued by the Council after the Contract date in regards to outstanding final inspections is the responsibility of the Purchaser. If in doubt, the purchaser should ask the agent to make the Contract of Sale subject to special conditions.
Swimming Pool/Spa Fences: If the Property being purchased has a swimming pool or outside spa which is not fenced, the obligation to fence the pool or spa in accordance with Council regulations will inevitably fall on the Purchaser after settlement. We suggest you talk to the local Council about fencing requirements prior to signing the Contract of Sale.
Property Location: Attached to the Section 32 Vendors Statement should be a copy of the Plan of Subdivision of the property. Prior to signing any Contract of Sale, the purchaser should attend the property for the purposes of measuring the boundaries of the land, and ensuring the location of the land coincides with what is shown on the Plan.
If the Purchaser has any doubts, they should engage the services of a licensed surveyor who will be able to check such matters properly, and thoroughly.
