Frequent Risk Signals

• Settlement Blockage: If a caveat is lodged after you exchange contracts but before settlement, the Registrar-General cannot register your Transfer, meaning you cannot legally become the owner until the caveat is cleared.
• Finance Withdrawal: Most Australian lenders will strictly refuse to provide mortgage funds on settlement day if a title search reveals an uncleared caveat, as they cannot secure their mortgage over the property.
• Hidden Disputes: A caveat often signals a deep-seated legal battle, such as a family law property settlement, an unpaid builder's lien, or a prior unrecorded sale agreement that could jeopardise your purchase.
• Costly Litigation: If a seller is unable or unwilling to remove a caveat, you may be forced to apply to the ACT Supreme Court for an order to lapse the caveat, incurring significant legal fees and months of stress.
• Penalty Interest: Even if the caveat is the seller's fault, complex ACT Contract clauses may still leave the buyer vulnerable to delays that disrupt moving plans and professional cleaning or removalist bookings.
• Priority Conflicts: Under the ACT’s Torrens Title system, a caveator with a prior equitable interest might, in rare circumstances, successfully argue they have a superior claim to the property than a subsequent buyer.
