Frequent Risk Signals

• Property Damage: After 5:00 pm on the first business day following the contract date, if a storm damages the roof or a pipe bursts, the cost of repairs is generally yours, not the seller's.
• Insurance Lapse: Failing to arrange building insurance immediately after the contract date leaves you financially exposed. The REIQ contract explicitly states this buyer's risk.
• Unforeseen Events: Fires, floods, vandalism, or even accidental damage by a third party become your responsibility. You cannot simply walk away from the contract or demand the seller fix it if the damage occurs after risk passes.
• Settlement Delay: If substantial damage occurs and you haven't insured, you might be forced to settle on a damaged property or lose your deposit if you refuse to proceed.
• Financial Loss: Without insurance, repairing significant damage could cost tens of thousands of dollars out of your own pocket, jeopardising your financial stability.
• Limited Recourse: While the seller must maintain the property in its present condition until settlement, this doesn't protect you from sudden, accidental damage once risk has passed under Queensland law.
