Frequent Risk Signals

• Building Restrictions: Many South Australian titles contain restrictive covenants (often called "encumbrances" in the Form 1) that dictate the materials you must use for your roof or fence, particularly in master-planned communities like Mount Barker or Mawson Lakes.
• Easement Limitations: If an encumbrance grants SA Water or a telecommunications provider an easement, you may be legally prohibited from building a pool, shed, or extension over that area, significantly limiting your land use.
• Unpaid Statutory Charges: Under the REISA Contract, certain government charges like land tax or the Emergency Services Levy stay with the land; if these are not cleared at settlement, the buyer's risk is that they become liable for the vendor's debt.
• Enforcement Powers: Some private encumbrances give a third party (like a developer) the right to enter your property to rectify a breach of their rules and then charge you for the cost.
• Title Insurance Gaps: Most title insurance policies will not cover losses resulting from encumbrances that were clearly disclosed in the Form 1, meaning you inherit the legal problem the moment you settle.
• Subdivision Barriers: Older encumbrances may contain "no-subdivision" clauses that prevent you from splitting a large block, even if the local council's zoning laws would otherwise allow it.
