Hi All
I am buying in Melb/settling on 6 Dec, and I am in Perth.
It is a deceased estate and my concern is that goods etc. will not be removed prior to settlement.
My plan was to hold back $2000 on settlement, real estate agent suggested the same, however my lawyer said that I can not do this in Melb.
Am concerned as I am out of State etc.
Another option is to state I will not settle the property unless xxx
however, I am possibly shooting myself in the foot if I go this way as I will incur interest payments etc.
Help
Thanks
