Sale of Land Amendment Act 2019 - Material Fact Guidelines

Details

CAV released the Material Fact Guidelines on 1 March 2020 as part of the Sale of Land Amendment Act 2019.
The Act requires that a vendor or their agent must disclose all known material facts, as soon as a prospective buyer indicates they are considering buying the property – commercial or residential. Vendors and agents must not knowingly conceal from a prospective buyer any material facts when selling land. The Guidelines assist in understanding what a material fact could be.
 
Material facts include any fact that an average purchaser would regard as material in their decision to buy and could range from information on a murder in the property through to offensive odours from a neighbouring property.

Join Gil King, REIV CEO and Andrew Meehan Co-Founder, Director and CEO of the Nicholas Lynch Real Estate Group and Chair of the REIV Sales Chapter Committee, as they unpack the Guidelines, share examples of material facts and provide an overview of the penalties for non-disclosure.
 
This webinar will explore:

  • Examples of what material facts are
  • How to prepare your office to deal with material fact disclosure
  • Guidance on how and when material facts are to be disclosed
  • The risks of asking or not asking questions to vendors
  • Penalties applicable for non-disclosure
