You Don't Want To Be Like This Buyer's Agent

Julie Crockett hosts the Buyer Agent Networks podcast and responds to a scenario involving a buyer's agent who purchased a regional NSW property with an older extension rented as dual income, despite late council enquiries showing a DA was issued but the construction certificate was refused, no occupation certificate was issued, and a building information certificate was under assessment. The contract also included a special condition that the purchaser accepted all defects and non-compliance, and after settlement council issued a stop use order, with possible rectification costs estimated at $40,000–$50,000.
