Frequent Risk Signals

• Property Damage: If the property suffers damage from events like storms, fire, or vandalism after the risk passes but before settlement, you, the buyer, are generally responsible for the repair costs, not the seller.
• No Insurance: Unless otherwise specified in your REIWA Contract, you are expected to arrange your own building and contents insurance from the date the risk passes. Failing to do so leaves you completely exposed to financial loss.
• Unforeseen Maintenance: Any sudden issues like a burst pipe or a malfunctioning hot water system that occur after the risk has passed become your problem and expense, even if you haven't taken physical possession.
• Tenant Issues: For investment properties in Western Australia, if risk passes before settlement, you assume responsibility for any new damage caused by existing tenants after that date, complicating your future landlord obligations.
• Delay Penalties: Even if settlement is delayed due to your actions or circumstances, the risk typically still passes on the originally agreed date, meaning you carry the burden for a longer period without owning the title.
• 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.
