24.01.2022 How well do you know Contract conditions? Clause 5.3 Documents and Keys at settlement. In exchange for the balance purchase monies, the Seller must deliver to the Buyer - any instrument of title for the land to register the transfer to the Buyer, stamped transfer documents, any documents to release an encumbrance, copy of any tenancy documents, transfer of bond and rent forms, pool compliance certificate if not already provided, keys. If the keys are not delivered at settlement under clause 5.3(1)(d) the Seller must deliver the keys to the Buyer. The Seller may discharge its obligations by delivering the keys to the Agent and authorising them to be released upon settlement.

24.01.2022 FUN FACTS - Everyone has a unique tongue print, just like fingerprints.

23.01.2022 How well do you know Contract conditions? Transfer documents - Transfer documents are prepared by the Buyers' Solicitors and delivered to the Sellers' Solicitors in a reasonable time before settlement - this is normally after the Contract becomes unconditional. Solicitors hold Indemnity Insurance and therefore are able to return signed documents to the Buyers' Solicitors for pre settlement stamping. However if the Buyer is self acting and does not have such insurance, and must stamp the Transfer documents before settlement, then the Buyer must pay the Sellers reasonable costs to producing the documents at the Office of State Revenue for stamping, prior to settlement.

22.01.2022 How well do you know Contract conditions? Settlement Date The day you have been waiting for. Although the Contract allows for settlement to be effected between 9am and 4pm AEST, 99.9% of matters settle between 2pm and 4pm. As this is what suits the banks, gives them time to get their files in order and draw cheques and solve any last minute issues. Settlement is normally effected at the Bank or place where the Title/Mortgage is held. These days though Banks normally have a settlement Agent where the settlement is effected which is pretty central. However if there is no Title or Bank, then the Seller may nominate the place for settlement. If this is out of the CBD this could cost the Buyer extra fees for Agents.

11.01.2022 SELLING YOUR TOWN HOUSE OR UNIT Before listing your townhouse, unit or other community title property for sale with a real estate agent, speak to your solicitor... about: 1. the form of appointment with the real estate agent 2. any Warning and Disclosure Statements that must be satisfactorily completed 3. the need to disclose outstanding liabilities and the implied warranties which you must give as a seller 4. the inclusion of fixtures and fittings 5. any alterations you have made to the property 6. your obligations to any existing tenant 7. the date of settlement, and if relevant, the timing of any new home purchase 8. any special terms that you want in the sale. You also need to make sure you have installed a compliant fire alarm and safety switch. Once a buyer has signed a contract to purchase your property and paid a deposit, your agent will deliver the contract to you, either by hand, post, fax or email. Before signing, speak with your solicitor about this contract to make sure that all formalities have been complied with. During the conveyance, your solicitor will: 1. ensure all outstanding government charges and body corporate contributions have been paid 2. arrange repayment and legal discharge of any mortgages on your property 3. check that all of the documents you are required to sign are in order 4. attend to any other pre-settlement requirements such as obtaining a CGT withholding tax clearance certificate when applicable 5. ensure that you are paid in full. * this extract from the Queensland Law Society web site

07.01.2022 DO EXECUTORS HAVE TO ABIDE BY THE REQUESTS OF THE DECEASED? Not all directions made by a Will Maker are valid and binding on an Executor. Example 1. In the Will was a pet destruction clause. The subject of the direction was a young and healthy Shitzu named Sally. It was decided not to follow the direction on the basis that the dog’s destruction was not legally binding and served no useful purpose and it was a certainty that such a young and healthy dog could be rehomed. In the end Sally was taken by a family member. It could only be speculated what would have eventuated had the destruction clause been followed I am sure a prosecution by the RSPCA would have been possibility.

06.01.2022 How well do you know Contract conditions? 5.4 - Assignment of Covenants and Warranties. At settlement the Seller assigns to the Buyer the benefit of all covenants by the Tenants under any tenancies, guarantees and bonds subject to the RTA Act, manufacturers warranties regarding any chattels, builders warranties if applicable. However the right to recover arrears of rent is not assigned to the Buyer.
