Frequent Risk Signals

• Reimbursement Obligations: In the Australian Capital Territory, the buyer is legally required to reimburse the seller for the cost of the mandatory building, pest, and energy reports (often exceeding $1,000) at the time of settlement.
• Unapproved Structures: If the mandatory building report identifies structures that are not "compliant" or "approved," the buyer inherits the risk and cost of rectifying these issues or seeking retrospective approval from the ACT Planning and Land Authority.
• Reliance Timeframes: Building and pest reports are only valid for a specific period; if the reports are older than three months at the time of listing, they may not accurately reflect the current state of the property, yet the buyer's risk remains high.
• Crown Lease Compliance: Since most ACT land is held under a Crown Lease, any failure to disclose a "Notice of Non-Compliance" means the buyer could be forced to pay for expensive remediation works shortly after moving in.
• EER Accuracy: A low Energy Efficiency Rating disclosed in the contract can significantly impact future resale value and utility costs, especially given Canberra's extreme temperature fluctuations.
• Limited Recourse: Once the ACT Contract is exchanged, the buyer is deemed to have accepted the disclosures; you generally cannot claim compensation for defects that were clearly outlined in the mandatory reports.
