Frequent Risk Signals

• Property Damage: If the house burns down or is severely damaged by a storm after you sign the Section 32 / REIV contract but before settlement, you could still be legally obligated to proceed with the purchase, potentially inheriting a damaged asset.
• Insurance Lapse: Failing to arrange your own building insurance from the contract date in Victoria leaves you exposed. If the seller's insurance lapses or doesn't cover the damage, you bear the full financial cost of repairs.
• Tenant Issues: If the property is tenanted, and a tenant causes damage after the risk passes but before settlement, you could be responsible for rectifying it, adding unexpected costs to your purchase.
• Unforeseen Events: Vandalism, burst pipes, or even significant wear and tear that occurs post-contract signing are generally the buyer's responsibility under the "Risk Passes to Buyer" clause, highlighting the importance of due diligence.
• Financial Loss: Should major damage occur, you might be forced to settle on a property worth significantly less than you agreed, or face substantial repair bills, impacting your finances and investment in the Victoria property contract.
• Legal Disputes: Ignoring the implications of this buyer's risk can lead to costly legal disputes with the seller if you attempt to withdraw from the contract due to damage that occurred after the risk passed.
