Hi all, first post, lurked for awhile as I'll be looking at purchasing my first home some time this year fingers crossed but this one isn't for me.
I have a question on behalf of my partners mother. She has purchased a new house due to settle on the 17th of Feb, she has been informed two days ago that the property has not been titled (think this is the correct terminology) as the builder/seller hasn't organised it yet. (Is with the title office apparently)
She has organised the settlement of her current house for the same day. While she can stay with family while it settles this is still a major inconvenience to all involved and we are wondering what our options are here.
I am not familiar with the law in this area but this seems a pretty blatant breach of contract and she should be eligible for compensation from the seller.
Her conveyancer doesn't seem to see this as as big of an issue as we all do!
Any advice?
Thanks
Liam
