Frequent Risk Signals

• Unexpected Costs: You might inherit liabilities such as unpaid council rates or strata levies from the previous owner, leading to immediate out-of-pocket expenses not accounted for in your budget.
• Restricted Use: An undisclosed easement (e.g., for drainage or utilities) could prevent you from building a pool or extending your home in a specific area, significantly limiting your property development plans in Western Australia.
• Access Limitations: A right-of-way easement across your driveway for a neighbour's access means you cannot block it, potentially impacting your privacy or future landscaping choices.
• Breach of Covenant: The property might be subject to covenants (rules about building materials or height restrictions) that, if breached, could lead to legal action from a previous owner or a developer, incurring significant legal fees.
• Leasehold Obligations: If the property has an existing tenant, you, as the new owner under the REIWA Contract, are bound by the terms of their lease agreement, meaning you cannot move in immediately or change their rental conditions without proper notice and legal grounds.
• Mortgage Discharge Issues: If the seller fails to discharge their existing mortgage properly, you could face delays in settlement or, in rare cases, a claim from their lender, creating significant legal and financial stress, which is a key buyer's risk.
