Frequent Risk Signals

• Removal of Rubbish: If the seller leaves behind broken furniture, old tyres, or piles of green waste, the cost of professional removal and tip fees in Adelaide can easily exceed $1,000, which becomes your responsibility if not addressed before settlement.
• Holdover Tenants: If a tenant fails to vacate by the date specified in the REISA Contract, you may be legally unable to move in, potentially forcing you into emergency accommodation or expensive storage for your belongings.
• Settlement Delays: Failure to provide vacant possession is a breach of contract; however, refusing to settle can lead to a "buyer's risk" of being charged penalty interest if a court later finds the breach was not "essential."
• Abandoned Chattels: Large items left behind, such as pianos or heavy gym equipment, can be difficult and expensive to move, and you may face legal uncertainty regarding whether you are allowed to dispose of them immediately.
• Unauthorised Occupants: In rare cases, family members of the seller or squatters may remain on-site; removing them in South Australia requires specific legal procedures that can take weeks or months to resolve.
• Cleaning Standards: While vacant possession requires the property to be empty, it does not strictly guarantee a "professional clean" under the standard REISA Contract unless a special condition is added, leaving many buyers disappointed by the home's condition.
