Frequent Risk Signals

• Inherited Tax Debts: Under New South Wales law, land tax creates a "first charge" on the land, meaning if the seller owes Revenue NSW $15,000, that debt automatically transfers to you as the new owner if not cleared before settlement.
• Delayed Settlement Penalties: If the seller fails to provide a clear certificate by the scheduled settlement date, a major buyer's risk is that the resulting delay could trigger default interest clauses under the standard Contract for Sale, often calculated at 8% to 10% per annum.
• Foreign Investor Surcharges: For Chinese-Australian investors and other foreign buyers, a seller's unpaid foreign owner land tax surcharges (which are significantly higher than standard rates) can also attach to the property, resulting in unexpected inherited debts of tens of thousands of dollars.
• Clearance Certificate Timeframes: Revenue NSW can take up to 10 working days to issue a clearance certificate, meaning poor preparation by either party can force a chaotic, delayed settlement that jeopardises your moving plans.
• Unadjusted Outgoings: The standard Contract for Sale requires land tax to be financially adjusted at settlement if the property is liable; without an accurate clearance certificate, buyers may accidentally overpay the seller during final settlement calculations.
• Notice to Complete Risks: If a buyer refuses to settle because of an unclear land tax status but fails to follow strict legal procedures, the seller might issue a Notice to Complete, putting the buyer's 10% deposit at risk of forfeiture.
