Hi guys,
My wife and i are looking to purchase our first ppor together.
We have found a place we like. It has had an extension done, id say at least 5 - 10 years ago.
Now - the section 32 (we are in VIC) is not really that detailed, at least not compared to the others weve seen over the last year or so. It has a basic vendor statement (that is not dated, just signed) plus a basic (free) property report from land.vic.gov.au, and an easement plan. Thats it - no sewer maps, no flood cert, no vicroads info, no planning certificate..
Further, no evidence that the extension and alterations were legal.
Ive requested (Under advice of my solicitor) that the additional certificates are provided, and also that we are provided access to council plans. My solicitor stated the section 32 is one of the worst he has seen - and he cannot advise on whether i should buy the place or not as there is no detail.
Im not impressed by the response ive had from the agent. Apparently the vendors conveyancer has stated she cannot get any additional info and thats all she has access to (absurd??). Ive also had no real answer on the council plans.
My request has been with the agent for over a week and a half. All ive had is non commital - even had a suggestion ishould put an offer in without seeing the info. I understand its a bad time of year, however id have thought they would want to sell their house..
Advice? Run for the hills? What would you guys do..?
