I have this unit I'm buying and the vendor has said they will stay on for 12 months and pay $XXX a week which is probably a bit above average too. The REA confirmed this before I made my offer and it was in the original advert. I'm at the stage now where we are just waiting for the bank documents to arrive to sign and then a settlement date, soon I hope!
As I'm counting on the vendor paying rent right away then I would like to have more assurance. My solicitor has sort of ignored the subject when I brought it up but I'm wondering I should have asked for this earlier to be part of the contract?
It's too late now so I need to work out what I should do to guard against the Vendor changing their mind. Should I ask for the vendor to confirm in a written document that they will rent the place from settlement date and who should I get to do this, my solicitor or the REA?
