Take care when purchasing real estate in Tasmania
When you sign a contract to purchase real estate in Tasmania there is no cooling off period.
We advise readers to do their research carefully before committing to a purchase. Inspect the property in person before signing a contract. Check with the local municipal council to ensure that the property will not be affected by future road or other developments. Get a professional, independent inspection report on the soundness of the building and, most important of all, approach an independent registered valuer for a report on the value of the property.
