Contract price rebates - agent & buyer exposure to liability
There is no technical legal obstacle to inserting a sale price in a contract reference schedule and specifying elsewhere that the seller will accept a lesser sum. The reduction in price is commonly called a rebate.
Court rules on PAMDA warning statements - when can a buyer terminate?
The Property Agents and Motor Dealers Act (PAMDA) specifies that the form 30c warning statement must be attached to the contract as its first or top sheet. At what point in the negotiations must this happen? Is the specified order required to be observed at all times?
Smoke alarm disclosure - you're damned if you don't... so do it!
There is a hidden trap in the Fire and Rescue Service Act 1990 (Qld) ('the Act'). The effect of it is that under the standard REIQ Contract a seller of residential property may be leaving themselves open to prosecution despite honestly disclosing the fact that a smoke alarm is not installed in the premises!
