Stephen Farrellasked
Hello Ian, an unusual situation. Our home sold via auction 5 weeks ago. Two weeks ago we followed the Govt advice are living in lockdown. To explain my family are not leaving the house or yard & I leave twice weekly to do shopping. On Wednesday the Agent advised the purchaser's bank wish to send a valuer through the house and a kerbside valuation is not sufficient. At this stage we have said no. Where do we stand?

Hi Stephen,
These certainly are unusual times. If you sold your property by auction, or within 3 days before or after the auction date and there were no special conditions added to the contract, then your sale is completely unconditional. It is not subject to the purchasers financial approval and therefore you are well within your rights to deny access to the buyer for any reason other than one final inspection. This final inspection normally happens within a couple of weeks of settlement. In case there are any specific circumstances that we are not aware of, we suggest you run this by the solicitor who prepared the Contract of Sale and follow their advice. Otherwise stay safe and we wish you all the best.

Hi I need to know what are my rights as a property owner, I have a tenant that is stating that he can leave my home, his lease was up on the 31st December 18. He has broken the lease agreement, 1) he hasn’t kept the house in the condition that he walks into. There was too be no dogs,he has 3 of them and they have destroyed my gardens and yards, he has broken things in the house. I have photos of the condition of the property. When my husband passed away I thought I would lease out for a short time. Pls can you give me some information that can help me, the real estate said that I have to wait another 2 months as she forgot to put a form in, I’m assuming to the courts and forgot to submit them on time she was two days over the time frame.

Hi Sharon,
We sincerely apologise for our delayed response. We didn't seem to receive an alert that a question had been asked and have only just seen it here.
We're sorry that you haven't had a good experience in letting out your fathers property, that's a real shame and a headache you just didn't need. If you are still having troubles we are most happy to speak with you over the phone to discuss a few options that we can suggest based on the situation.
We don't have a resident property management team but our staff have some experience with that aspect of the industry.
If we can help. please contact us on 9430 0000

Mickasked
our estate agent knows we won't sell under a certain figure, but still put in his contract to sell our property, a lower price, 70k bellow what he knows we will accept, is that legal and ethical???.

Hi Mick,
Your agent is required to give you an accurate estimate on what he/she believes your property will sell for and this price cannot be a range greater than 10%. This price may well be below your expectations. However, if you have stated a firm minimum acceptable price to your agent, then it is illegal for your agent to advertise your property below this amount, even if they believe that this price is above market value. The agent must immediately adjust the quoted range when they become aware their advertised price range is below the vendors acceptable price. i hope this helps you. Please advise if your property is listing with an agent through Ian Reid Vendor Advocates, so that we can follow up on this and address the advertised price.
Kind regards,
Ben Reid
