Buyer Avoided Purchasing the Wrong Lot
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
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.
The result
The documents were corrected before completion, so the transfer matched the property the client intended to buy.
What this story shows
Street addresses, unit numbers and marketing descriptions are not substitutes for the legal title. Purchasers should confirm the exact lot, plan, parking or storage interests, easements and common-property arrangements before exchange.
