Frequent Risk Signals

• Ambiguous Inclusion Lists: If a high-value item like a designer chandelier or a wall-mounted mirror is not explicitly ticked in the inclusions list of the ACT Contract, the seller may legally remove it before settlement, leaving the buyer with an empty socket or a damaged wall.
• The "Degree of Annexation" Test: Disputes often arise because the legal test for what constitutes a fixture depends on how it is attached; if an item can be removed without causing damage, it may be deemed a chattel, meaning the buyer's risk is losing items they assumed were part of the home.
• Proprietary Technology Removal: Sellers in the Australian Capital Territory frequently take "smart home" hubs, security cameras, or robotic pool cleaners, claiming they are chattels, which can cost a buyer thousands of dollars to replace and reintegrate into the property.
• Damage During Extraction: When a seller removes a chattel, such as a wall-mounted TV bracket or a heavy dryer, they may leave holes in plaster or scuffs on floorboards, and the standard contract may not provide sufficient recourse for these "minor" cosmetic repairs.
• Financing Shortfalls: If a buyer relies on the presence of expensive movable items to justify their purchase price, but those items are removed, the buyer faces the risk of a valuation shortfall or simply overpaying for the remaining real estate.
• Outdoor Living Disputes: Items such as unbolted fire pits, large potted plants, or freestanding garden sheds are frequently contested in Canberra suburbs, leading to heated pre-settlement inspections and potential legal delays.
