Frequent Risk Signals

• Immediate Insurance Liability: Because the buyer's risk begins the moment contracts are exchanged, you must have a valid building insurance policy in place immediately; waiting until settlement could leave you completely unprotected.
• Weather and Storm Damage: If a severe Canberra hailstorm smashes windows or damages the roof after exchange but before settlement, the cost of these repairs is generally your responsibility, not the seller's.
• Vandalism and Malicious Damage: Should the property be targeted by vandals or suffer graffiti after the exchange of the ACT Contract, you are usually required to accept the property in its damaged state without a reduction in the purchase price.
• Public Liability Exposure: If an individual is injured on the premises after exchange, you may be held liable for legal claims, making it essential to have public liability cover included in your insurance policy from day one.
• Total Destruction Obligations: Under the Civil Law (Sale of Residential Property) Act 2003, if the property is significantly damaged but still "habitable," you may still be legally compelled to proceed with the purchase at the original agreed price.
• Financing Complications: If a major event (like a fire) occurs and the property value drops significantly, your mortgage lender may withdraw their loan offer, leaving you unable to settle and at risk of losing your entire 10% deposit.
