Frequent Risk Signals

• Undisclosed Easements: If a Power and Water Corporation easement exists for sewerage or electricity, you may be legally prohibited from building a pool, deck, or shed over that portion of the land, severely limiting your renovation plans.
• Registered Caveats: A third party may have lodged a caveat claiming an interest in the land; if this is not removed before settlement, it can block the transfer of title entirely, leading to expensive Supreme Court litigation.
• Statutory Charges: Unpaid Darwin or Alice Springs council rates and land tax are secured against the property; if these encumbrances aren't cleared at settlement, the debt becomes the buyer's responsibility.
• Restrictive Covenants: Many NT subdivisions have specific "building schemes" that dictate the types of materials you must use or the height of your fences, which can lead to unexpected costs of tens of thousands of dollars to ensure compliance.
• Mortgage Discharge Delays: If the seller’s debt exceeds the sale price, their bank may refuse to release the mortgage encumbrance, potentially causing the settlement to fail and leaving the buyer with significant legal and relocation costs.
• Unregistered Leases: Under the REINT Contract, certain short-term tenancies may not appear on the title search but still grant a tenant the legal right to remain in the property after you have paid for it.
