Frequent Risk Signals

• Immediate Insurance Requirement: The standard REIQ contract explicitly places the property at the buyer's risk from 5:00 PM the next business day, meaning you must organise building insurance immediately, even though the seller still legally owns and occupies the home.
• Severe Weather Events: Queensland is highly prone to cyclones, floods, and severe summer storms; if a flash flood destroys the lower level of the property during your 30-day settlement period, the financial burden of all repairs falls entirely on you.
• Vandalism and Malicious Damage: If the vacant property is broken into and valuable fixtures like copper wiring, hot water systems, or air-conditioning units are stolen before settlement, you cannot force the seller to replace them or demand a reduction in the purchase price.
• Bank Valuation Shortfalls: If uninsured property damage before settlement significantly lowers the home's value, your bank may withdraw your formal finance approval, leaving you unable to settle and at risk of losing your deposit (often up to 10% of the purchase price) and being sued for breach of contract.
• Limited Statutory Protections: While Section 64 of the Property Law Act 1974 (Qld) allows a buyer to rescind a contract if a dwelling is deemed completely unfit for human occupation, this is a very high legal threshold to meet and does not protect you against minor or moderate property damage.
• Relying on Seller's Insurance: Assuming the seller's insurance will cover the damage is a massive buyer's risk, as the seller's policy may be cancelled, underinsured, or legally impossible for you to claim against as the incoming purchaser.
