Possible pitfalls to keep in mind

Problems in the way for you to buy a home:

A lost title = Conveyancer is to ensure the title on the property you’re purchasing is true and correct before it is transferred into your name properly.
Title issues
- Title is lost
- Measurements of the property do not match current title on the home
- Discrepancy in the former owner’s name.
Conveyancer sorts out all problems, but
You must read
- all title documentation provided to you
- check and re-check your name on the new title
- take note of all measurement details.

Constructions not approved by council
Structures attached or not attached to the home:
- extensions
- pergolas.

If constructions exist,
Your conveyancer will require:
- you purchase the property conditionally on the council clearance of these construction/s or
- your conveyancer can write into the contract of sale [COS] that a lower price is to be negotiated to cover the cost of you pursuing the council approval of these illegal constructions at a later date.
If you fail to recognize these structures,
- you may not be able to sell the property at a later date and
- could incur all sorts of legal issues if the structure fails.

After final inspection,
Damaged/ Missing property discovered

Common problem when a new home is bought.

When people leave, they try to get away with taking things with them i.e.
- blinds, curtains, washing lines and
- even fixed equipment like dishwasher etc.
- Conveyancer will activate legal proceedings to ensure you receive what is yours, or
-Be entitled to some compensation to the value of the damaged or missing property.

Happened to you = immediately contact your conveyancer.
