Frequent Risk Signals

• Hidden Easements and Restrictions: If you fail to thoroughly review the title search attached to the Vendor Disclosure Statement, you might discover too late that a major water board sewer line runs right through the middle of your backyard, legally preventing you from building a granny flat or swimming pool.
• Illegal Building Works: The statement might reveal that the previous owner built extensions without council approval; as the new owner, you could be hit with a demolition order from your local New South Wales council and face tens of thousands of dollars in mandatory rectification costs.
• Zoning Surprises: The attached Section 10.7 planning certificate might show the property is located in a high-risk flood zone or bushfire prone area, drastically increasing your home insurance premiums or severely limiting future development potential.
• Strata Nightmares: For apartment buyers, an incomplete disclosure regarding strata records might hide impending special levies, meaning you could suddenly be forced to pay $15,000 or more to fix flammable cladding or concrete spalling shortly after settlement.
• Rescission Time Limits: A major buyer's risk is missing the strict 14-day statutory window to cancel the Contract for Sale; if the seller breached the disclosure requirements but you fail to serve a formal legal notice of rescission within this exact timeframe, you may be forced to proceed with the purchase or forfeit your entire 10% deposit.
• Signing before receiving the statement: If you sign an REIQ contract before the seller provides the complete Seller Disclosure Statement (QLD Property Law Act 2023), you may have the statutory right to terminate the contract at any time before settlement without financial penalty.
