Situation

The client’s situation

A buyer believed they were purchasing a particular apartment with an associated car space. During the title and contract review, the lot references did not align with the physical property marketed by the agent. Relying on the street address alone would have created a serious risk that the buyer contracted for the wrong legal interest.

How Aquarius Lawyers helped

The legal response

We compared the title search, deposited strata plan, contract schedule and marketing information, then raised requisitions before the buyer became irreversibly committed. The vendor’s representatives were required to clarify and correct the legal description and associated interests.

Documented outcome

The documented outcome

The documents were corrected before completion, so the transfer matched the property the client intended to buy.
