- Final inspection and condition before settlement

Situation
The client’s situation
An interstate purchaser relied on a video call for the final inspection. It showed the main rooms but did not adequately capture water damage, missing inclusions or the condition of an external area. Settlement was due the next morning.
How Aquarius Lawyers helped
The legal response
We asked for targeted evidence against the contract’s inclusions and condition obligations, arranged additional inspection material and raised the specific issues with the vendor’s solicitor before settlement rather than relying on a general statement that the property was not as expected.
Documented outcome
The documented outcome
The parties agreed a practical settlement solution that preserved the purchaser’s position on the identified items.
