Frequent Risk Signals

• Outdated Seller Reports: Reports provided in an ACT Contract may be up to three months old; relying on stale data is a significant buyer's risk as new termite activity or water damage could have occurred since the seller's inspection.
• The "Major Defect" Threshold: You generally cannot terminate an Australian Capital Territory property contract for minor maintenance issues; the defect must be "major" or structural, often leading to heated legal disputes over the definition of "major."
• Mandatory Reimbursement: In the ACT, the successful buyer is typically required to reimburse the seller for the cost of the reports provided in the contract (often $900–$1,200) at the time of settlement.
• Strict Notification Windows: If you add a special condition for an independent inspection, you must usually provide written notice of a failure to the seller within a few business days, or you waive your right to terminate.
• Limited Scope of Pest Reports: Standard pest inspections in the ACT focus almost exclusively on timber-destroying insects; they do not cover common pests like rodents, cockroaches, or spiders, which can still impact the property's value.
• Non-Transferable Warranties: If you rely on the seller's report and it turns out to be negligent, you may face significant legal hurdles in suing the inspector because you were not the party who originally "contracted" them.
