24.01.2022 When you use KDD for your property purchase, youll receive some information about taking out a title insurance policy. While it has lots of benefits, one of the major ones is non-compliance with council regulations. And it just so happens that one of our team has actually made a claim on her own policy, so heres the case study on one of the many benefits of having title insurance! ... Back in 2014, Katelyn & her husband bought a new house and their super-fabulous conveyancer completed a whole heap of searches as part of the settlement process. One of these searches was with the City of Joondalup to confirm that the pool fence was compliant. Sure enough, before settlement Katelyn received a copy of the compliance certificate from the last inspection done in 2013 Fast-forward to 2017 and the council came out for the next scheduled pool inspection. Well this time, the inspector must have had a fancy new measuring tape because it turned out that the pool fence was only 1100mm off the ground, not the required 1200mm. The pool fence failed the inspection and Katelyn was told to replace the whole glass fence with a taller, compliant one. Luckily, Katelyn had taken out a title insurance policy at settlement *just in case*. , , $,, . $ , !

24.01.2022 With the winter weather still hanging around (clearly it didnt get the memo that it was springs turn ) we thought wed take a look at what happens if the property youre buying or selling is damaged prior to settlement. Rain, strong winds, fire, flood, malicious damage - these are all risks that could impact your home and it can be confusing for buyers and sellers as to who is responsible for the repairs. In our latest blog post, we look at the difference between minor and... major damage, who is responsible for fixing it, and when the risk passes from the seller to the buyer. https://kddconveyancing.com.au//damaged-property-before-s/

23.01.2022 Signing the contract is just the beginning of the property transfer process. In reality, theres a lot more to the process before the buyer officially becomes the new owner of the property. WIth so many different parties involved, its inevitable that sometimes, this process may experience delays. The delay could only be a couple of hours, maybe a day or two, and less often, weeks or more. Whether theres a hold up due to the bank, a final inspection issue or missing docume...ntation, its important to understand your rights in this situation.

18.01.2022 With the property market on fire at the moment, some settlements are at risk of experiencing lengthy delays. We’re hearing anecdotal reports from certain banks that their time frames to discharge a mortgage on a property that’s sold are up to 27 business days for a full discharge and 42 business days if you need a partial discharge.

17.01.2022 As a buyer, one of your final tasks in the lead up to settlement is to book in your final inspection with the real estate agent. It’s best to do this 5-7 days prior to settlement, to allow enough time for any repairs to be completed ahead of settlement. The real estate agent will take you through the property, sometimes with the seller, sometimes without. Depending on the terms of your contract, it’s generally your opportunity to check: Lights - do they all work?... Powerpoints - do they all work? *hint* take a small appliance like a hairdryer or lamp to test Shower - does it get hot and cold water? Any other taps - do they get hot and cold water? Are there any leaks? Any other gas, electrical or plumbing fixtures that are remaining at the property, any special conditions or repairs that the seller was required to attend to Give your conveyancer a call, and we’ll be able to talk you through what kinds of things your contract covers you for, so that you can make the most of your final inspection.

12.01.2022 Are you a temporary resident, looking to buy property in WA? Make sure you include a condition on your contract allowing you time to obtain FIRB approval.

And thats provided all the necessary information has been included in your original application. Timeframes and approval requirements depend on the type of property being purchased, and approvals may be subject to conditions so its important that you seek advice from your accountant or the ATO if youre unsure as strict fines apply for non-compliance.

04.01.2022 Weve had a few buyers lately who are not Australian Citizens or Permanent Residents and before coming to us, they hadnt been made aware of WAs Foreign Buyer Duty. Since January 2019, foreign buyers are required to pay an additional 7% of the purchase price in addition to the standard stamp duty that is also payable. This also applies if only one buyer is foreign - they will be required to pay the extra 7% on their share of the purchase price. In some instances, these cli...ents have not had the funds to cover the additional duty, which causes unnecessary stress and pressure in what should be an exciting time buying a new home. Our team is always here to answer any questions that you may have, even before you sign a contract. In fact, we love speaking to buyers who are still in the property search phase because we can arm them with the knowledge & information they need about the purchase process. ..

02.01.2022 The WA Government, via DMIRS, has recently issued a reminder for buyers, sellers & settlement agents to remain vigilant in the face of fraud attempts. The reminder comes after a Tasmanian buyer almost lost $90,000 when their conveyancing solicitors email was intercepted. Read more about the attempted scam here https://www.abc.net.au//hackers-steal-from-church/12624580... KDD Conveyancing has long been conscious of the risks that face our industry, given the increasing reliance upon email and the large volumes of money that can be transferred as part of the settlement transaction. Be vigilant and take care when transferring money - we recommend calling the recipient to verify their account details prior to approving the transfer. We will also never email you our trust account details. Instead, these can be provided via mail and/or verified via telephone call. This is just one of many safeguards that we have in place to protect our clients from scams such as this. ..
