Frequent Risk Signals

• Immediate Insurance Necessity: Under the standard REISA Contract, the buyer's risk begins the moment the contract is formed, meaning you must have a building insurance policy active from the date of signing to avoid total loss.
• Natural Disaster Liability: If a bushfire, storm, or flood damages the property in the weeks leading up to settlement, the buyer is generally still legally required to complete the purchase at the full agreed price.
• Vandalism and Accidental Damage: Should a window be smashed or a pipe burst after the contract date, the financial burden for repairs falls on the buyer, even though the seller still resides in the property.
• Limited Statutory Protection: While the Land and Business (Sale and Conveyancing) Act 1994 provides some cooling-off rights, it does not automatically protect a buyer from property damage that occurs during the settlement period.
• Lender Withdrawal Risk: If the property is significantly damaged and the buyer's risk has already passed, a bank may refuse to fund the loan at settlement, leaving the buyer in breach of contract and liable for the full purchase price.
• Fixed Purchase Price: The REISA Contract typically does not allow for a price reduction or "set-off" if the property’s condition deteriorates, forcing the buyer to claim through their own insurance rather than penalising the seller.
