In the wake of two nationwide lockdowns and several localised lockdowns, we should all appreciate that if we enter into a property transaction, that transaction could be interrupted and complicated by Covid-related restrictions.
While the first home buyer in this article deserves our sympathy, her predicament was both foreseeable and avoidable. The Agreement for Sale & Purchase which governs the transaction could have included terms that anticipated a lockdown and mitigated the problems that would likely result from it.
If you are thinking about selling or (especially) buying a property, we can help you avoid these sorts of inconveniences.
