Remembering the bigger picture...reprise.

I just had a word with the vendor's agent about his position on the pre-settlement inspection:  that is, that since we viewed the property within a fortnight of the contract signing, that we forfeited the right to a pre-settlement inspection.  And that we should be happy they were allowing us a half hour walk through on Saturday week...


I pointed out that our viewing that first fortnight was stipulated in our contract, because we hadn't been in the house within two months of the sale.


That the law states that purchasers are entitled to a viewing within the week prior to settlement, no matter what


I noted that the list of chattels in the contract outlines features of the property that aren't actually there


That we weren't asking for anything that wasn't within our rights under law, and that needed to be made plain.


All that said, the agent (who is actually very nice) apologised, and agreed that we should be allowed to do what we need on Saturday week.


Feeling much better about that now.

Wouldn't like to think that we'd take possession
and then find this cherub on ball statue
or pot-plant had been removed.
