16.01.2022 Should I buy off the plan? First home buyers are attracted to Off the plan purchases because of the generous concessions and exemptions offered by the Victorian Government. Buying off the plan occurs when an individual signs a contract to purchase a dwelling that is yet to be constructed. Before, purchasing off the plan, consider the following;... Benefits: Fixed price: Investors prefer purchasing off the plan because they can lock in a price at the time of signing this may allow the property to potentially appreciate in value before settlement. Move in ready: Depending on what stage you enter an off the plan, you may be able to make changes to the design and layout to suit your needs. Builders must provide warranties for 7 years against structural defects and 2 years for non structural defects from the date of the Occupancy Certificate. Time: Upon signing, a deposit of 10% of the Contract price is paid. Individuals are provided ample time to organise their finance. Government Discounts: In Victoria as a first home buyer or if the property is your principle place of residence you may be entitled to an Off the Plan exemption or concession. Negatives: Expiry of Sunset Clause: If the developer fails to complete the project before the sunset clause (required completion date) expires, the purchaser is entitled to a refund of their deposit and the contract may be terminated. Contracts are unconditional: When purchasing off the plan properties, it is imperative to note that the transaction cannot be subject to obtaining finance, building and or pest inspections. Volatility over Time: Individuals may find it difficult to obtain finance if circumstances change between when they sign and settlement. If you are unable to complete the transaction you risk losing your 10% deposit and may be charged additional penalties. Thinking of buying off the plan?

14.01.2022 Deposit bond allows the buyers to pay the initial deposit required under the contract without having to draw on cash from their own personal accounts. As, no money is exchanged when utilising a deposit bond to pay the initial deposit, the entire purchase price must be paid at settlement, which in turn voids the previously tendered deposit bond. Deposit Bonds expire on the earliest of either their expiry date or the completion of the Contract of Sale. Purchasers are advised ...to check whether vendors would be happy to accept a deposit bond prior to submitting an offer on a property. Most, contracts of sale require the full 10% deposit to actually be paid by a certain date to avoid breaching the terms of the contract. If a vendor refuses to accept the deposit bond, purchasers will be required to pay the full 10% in cash to avoid breaching the terms of the contract which can be costly if sort at the 11th hour. Deposit Bonds are beneficial for investors because not only are they relatively quick and easy to arrange, but they also ensure your funds are not tied up in any one transaction.

11.01.2022 What is a Section 27 Deposit release? When selling a property, most Vendors believe that they are entitled to access the deposit paid by a purchaser prior to settlement. Whilst, Section 27 of the Sale of Land Act 1962, provides that a Vendor may request access to a deposit paid by a purchaser. Purchasers are given the opportunity to object to the early release of the deposit, within 28 days of the request being made, thus preventing the release of the deposit.... Once a valid objection is raised by the purchasers, the deposit cannot be released to the vendor till at the time of or after settlement. Whilst the below is not an exhaustive list, here are a five reasons why a deposit may not be released to a Vendor; 1. The contract is not yet unconditional, i.e. building & pest inspections and finance clauses have not expired. 2. A bank letter satisfying the requirements for release of the deposit under Section 27 of the Sale of Land Act has not been provided to the purchaser by the vendor. 3. The vendor has a mortgage over the property where he/she owes more than 80% of the property's sale price. 4.There has been a caveat/ charge lodged over the property's Title 5. Vendors mortgage is currently in default. Vendors should not rely on their deposit being released prior settlement, as this is never guaranteed.
