Frequent Risk Signals

• Unlisted Inclusions: If a chattel (like a $2,500 dishwasher or custom curtains) is not expressly ticked on the front page of the Contract for Sale, the seller is legally entitled to remove it before settlement.
• Costly Replacements: Assuming an item is a fixture can lead to a severe buyer's risk; replacing unexpectedly removed items like pool equipment, expensive pendant lights, or wall-mounted televisions can easily cost a buyer upwards of $5,000 to $10,000 out of pocket.
• Ambiguous Attachments: The legal test for a fixture relies on the 'degree and purpose of annexation'—meaning items like a $4,000 custom-built but freestanding wardrobe might be legally categorised as a chattel, leaving the buyer with an empty bedroom if not explicitly written into the agreement.
• Damage During Removal: Sellers removing chattels may cause superficial damage to the property, and under New South Wales law, proving that the damage goes beyond 'fair wear and tear' to claim compensation can be a lengthy and expensive legal battle.
• Pre-Settlement Disputes: Discovering missing items during the final inspection (usually conducted 1 to 3 days before settlement) limits your leverage; withholding settlement funds without a strict contractual right can trigger penalty interest rates of 8-10% per annum against the buyer.
• Misleading Marketing Material: Relying on real estate brochures or staged furniture is a major trap; the written Contract for Sale overrides any verbal promises or glamorous photos, meaning if it isn't in the contract, it doesn't stay.
