Frequent Risk Signals

• Early possession liability: If you take the keys and move in before the official settlement date, the buyer's risk immediately shifts to you under the standard Contract for Sale, making you entirely liable for any damage from day one of occupation.
• Uninsured disaster costs: If a storm or fire causes $50,000 in roof damage after the risk has passed but before you have arranged adequate home insurance, you will have to pay for the repairs entirely out of your own pocket.
• Substantial damage threshold: Under New South Wales law, if a property is substantially damaged before the risk passes, you may have the right to rescind the contract within 28 days of becoming aware of the damage, but missing this tight statutory timeframe traps you into buying a severely damaged home.
• Minor damage disputes: For damage deemed "not substantial" (such as a broken $2,000 window) that occurs before settlement, you cannot cancel the Contract for Sale; instead, you must formally request a reduction in the purchase price before completion, or you waive your right to claim the funds.
• Vendor insurance gaps: Relying on the seller's insurance is a massive buyer's risk; their policy will not cover your financial interests or belongings once the risk passes to you, leaving your newly acquired property dangerously exposed.
• Delayed settlement penalties: If you refuse to settle because of property damage that occurred after the risk transferred to you, you will face hefty default interest charges (often 10% per annum on the remaining balance) and risk forfeiting your initial 10% deposit.
