2 [Edition datE] 3 What do you have to tell potential buyers when selling your house? When you’ve lived in a property for a while it’s easy to forget some of its quirks. You might be used to the fact that the front gate doesn’t shut properly, or that the bathroom windows need fixing. Any potential buyers will be able to spot issues like this when they inspect the property – and can choose to fix them if they purchase it. But it’s a lot harder for them to identify other things you might have forgotten about, like the fact that you didn’t bother getting the appropriate consents from the council when you built the deck 25 years ago. You might think the deck is fine, but you need to front up about the consent issue, not least because it’s the decent thing to do. “When you’re selling a property you are legally obliged to share all the relevant information about it,” says the Real Estate Agents Authority (REAA). “If work has been done on the property during your ownership, either by you or someone else, the standard terms of the sale and purchase agreement require the seller to warrant that any legally required permits or consents were obtained. If you knowingly fail to disclose unconsented works, you are in breach of contract. This means there is a risk that the sale could fall over or that you could run into problems prior to settlement. Even worse, the buyer could take you to court for breach of warranty.” Your first step should be to discuss the issue with your licensed real estate agent and your lawyer. They are likely to advise that you are better off to disclose anything unconsented, or to strike out the applicable vendor warranties clause in the sale and purchase agreement. “Once the real estate agent is aware of the situation, they are bound by their Code of Conduct to disclose it to any prospective buyers. If you tell them about the deck or any other issues to do with the property, but ask them not to tell anyone, they are required to stop working for you.” Similar disclosure issues can arise over more sensitive matters. Some sellers worry about whether or not to tell an agent or prospective buyers about an issue that doesn’t relate to the physical state of the property – such as it being the scene of a murder, suicide or violent crime. Here, deciding what to disclose is less straightforward. “The REAA advises agents to take a cautious approach and to consider each situation on its facts, while recognising the individual circumstances.” The High Court has said that a more recent event, especially one that might have gained some notoriety in the local neighbourhood, may have more bearing on a prospective buyer’s view of the property than a historic one. The location of the event (whether it took place in the grounds of the property or inside the house) and whether the property has been lived in since it happened, as well as the likely reaction of potential buyers, should also be taken into account. The death of someone from natural causes at the property does not need to be disclosed, as this is considered an everyday occurrence. “If you are in this situation as a seller, it’s best to discuss what to do with your real estate agent.” “They cannot tell prospective buyers without your consent – and if they decide that a sensitive issue should be disclosed but you don’t agree, then they must cease to act for you.” Whatever the situation, whether it’s unconsented work or a tragic event, honesty is the best policy. Talk to your agent about how the disclosure will be handled. There is no need to advertise the information or tell everyone who wanders along to an open home, but potential buyers who have indicated an interest in making an offer must be told.
