Frequent Risk Signals

• Delayed Settlement: If the seller fails to provide vacant possession on time, settlement can be delayed, potentially incurring significant penalty interest under the REIWA Contract, often calculated daily on the full purchase price.
• Eviction Costs: Should previous tenants or unauthorised occupants remain, you, as the buyer, might face substantial legal costs (potentially thousands of dollars) and a lengthy process (weeks to months) to obtain an eviction order through the Magistrates Court of Western Australia.
• Property Damage: Remaining occupants could intentionally or accidentally damage the property before vacating, leading to unexpected repair expenses that might not be covered if the damage isn't identified and addressed before settlement.
• Lost Rental Income: For investors, the inability to gain vacant possession means a direct loss of potential rental income for every day the property is unavailable, severely impacting your investment's profitability and cash flow.
• Unexpected Storage Fees: If you've arranged to move your own belongings or tenants in, and the property isn't vacant, you might incur unexpected costs for temporary storage and additional removalist fees.
• Breach of Contract Disputes: The seller's failure to provide vacant possession as agreed is a breach of the REIWA Contract, potentially leading to costly legal disputes, claims for damages, or even the right to terminate the contract.
