Can anyone enlighten me please, does any other state have the same sharp practice as Queensland.
Buy a house sign the contract and then be legally bound to take out property insurance immediately. Without the current owners permission you can't enter the premises, carry out modifications etc.
Legally you don't own the property but both you and the owner(?) have insurance covering the property.
If the place burnt down could we both claim, I don't think so.
Is this yet another legal shady practice of double dipping?
What can be done about it I ask, would consumer watchdogs put up with this type of practice being applied to cars?
