24.01.2022 Retrospective Changes to Sunset Clauses for Residential Off-the-Plan Developments The Victorian Government has finally introduced a bill into parliament to prevent property developers from terminating off-the-plan contracts with purchasers that have passed their Registration/Sunset Dates. The legislation will require the developers to notify the purchasers and obtain their consent, before they may terminate the Contract. This proposed legislation moves in line with current NS...W legislation to protect purchasers, who have paid deposits and waited several years for developments to register, by preventing developers from cancelling those Contracts and then selling to subsequent purchasers at substantial increased prices. The legislation applies retrospectively from 23 August 2018. If you are a purchaser or developer requiring advice on this prospective legislation, please consult me directly on 0410 861 148 or by email ([email protected]). https://lplc.com.au//retrospective-changes-proposed-for-/

20.01.2022 GST withholding by purchasers of new residential premises In a bid to prevent GST avoidance by developers, GST required to be collected for new residential property sales will now be paid directly to the taxation office at settlement rather than to the Vendor. If the margin scheme is to be used to calculate GST, the purchaser will withhold 7% of the purchase price at settlement and pay that directly to the taxation office. Developers will need to become aware of these changes... which will affect all contracts entered into from 1 July 2018. It will also apply to existing contracts which do not settle until after 1 July 2020. https://www.liv.asn.au//GST-withholding---New-residential-

14.01.2022 Attention all Real Estate Agents! A recent Court decision has held that a REIV Estate Agent Sales Authority is unenforceable because it did not comply with section 49A(1) of the Estate Agents Act 1980. In particular, it must comply with section 49A(4)(c), which outlines: (4) A rebate statement complies with this subsection if it is in a form approved by the Director and it contains ... (c) a statement that the agent is not entitled to retain any rebate and must not charge the client an amount for any expenses that is more than the cost of those expenses; and ... As a result, an agent may be sued for previous commissions and it would appear they would have no defence because the sales authority is unenforceable. Many agents who have used the standard REIV sales authority may look to sue REIV and Consumer Affairs to recover any lost commissions. We recommend estate agents contact the REIV and make enquiries as to whether the REIV will be updating their sales authority to include the above statement. If not, it would be prudent for all sales agents to include the above statement in all their Sales Authorities going forward. Should you have any queries about the above, contact us by phone on (03) 8390 4392 or email [email protected].

12.01.2022 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone. A&A wish you a safe and enjoyable holiday period. We are working through and are only taking the public holidays off.

10.01.2022 Attention to landlords and tenants of commercial premises, a recent Supreme Court of Victoria decision has changed the definition of retail premises. As a result, any tenant who supplies goods or services at a property to an end user client (even if they are another business), may have that lease deemed a retail lease, which may substantially affect and increase the landlords costs under the lease. https://www.liv.asn.au//Landlords-on-notice-after-change-t

09.01.2022 Angelowitsch & Associates remain dedicated in assisting our clients during these difficult times. We would love to share a review from a client who recently settled his vacant land purchase: "Google has max 5 stars only, else i would have given Jeremy even higher rating. He is absolutely the best you can get when it comes to conveyancing. Make no mistake, courtesy of COVID-19 and the market conditions i went thru hell during land settlement, but Jeremy stood like a rock, he ...navigated every issue and put my interest first, helped ensure the settlement happened. He is very honest, gives you excellent advise, is always available, responds almost immediately to anything you ask, understands what a home buyer goes thru mentally, emotionally and ensures that all parties to a deal have a fair and just result. I would recommend him without doubt for anyone looking to do conveyancing" So if you are looking for assistance in conveyancing and property law matters, do not hesitate to contact our office on 8390 4392 or email [email protected], and we will ensure you are provided the quality of service you deserve during these difficult times.

07.01.2022 Real Estate Agents need to be mindful of underquoting, as the ACCC further cracks down on repeat offenders by taking action against them in court. The Federal Court has just handed down a record fine of $880,000 to a Real Estate Agent is Melbournes East for underquoting 22 properties. http://www.abc.net.au//melbourne-estate-agent-fin/9258646

05.01.2022 It appears the Metropolitan Melbourne Real Estate Industry will now be closed for 6 weeks. Without the ability to arrange 1 on 1 house inspections, the industry will virtually close for 6 weeks as prospective buyers will not buy existing houses without the ability of having an inspection. Rural Victoria however may still have inspections. The real estate industry is still allowed to operate final inspections and handover of keys, building and pest inspections and bank valuations over this period. https://www.realestate.com.au//victoria-stage-four-restri/
