IF YOU HAVE CONSTRUCTED OR RENOVATED ANYTHING WITHOUT A PERMIT, YOU ARE ALSO AN OWNER BUILDER AND YOU MUST ADVISE OUR OFFICE OF THE WORKS.

Please outline ALL the works you have done or had done at the property this includes all improvements repairs renovations or works:(Required)
NOTE: If you are an owner-builder and do not comply with the strict disclosure requirements, then the Purchasers could withdraw from the purchase right up to the date of settlement.

The Building Act and Sale of Land Act are quite vague and even quite minor works which do not require a permit could be considered 'owner-builder' works. In most situations it is prudent to include an Owner Builder Report in the Section 32.

All owner builders and renovators are required to provide the purchasers with Owner Builder Warranty Insurance if the value of the works are over $16,000.00. If you do not have warranty insurance, the Purchaser CAN withdraw from the Contract at any time prior to settlement.
You are legally required to provide a Defects Inspection Report pursuant to Section 137B of the Building Act 1993 which details any defects in materials or workmanship and any incomplete works. This report is required REGARDLESS of COST of WORKS if the works are less than 7 Years Old. (taken from the date of the Certificate of Occupancy or Final Inspection.)

This report is only valid for a period of 6 months prior to Contract Date, if you have not sold within this period, you must obtain a new report. All reports must be undertaken and included in the Vendors Statements before Contracts are signed.
If you do not comply with this requirement or provide an out-of-date report, the purchaser could withdraw from the Contract at any point up until settlement and seek legal action against you for any damages incurred.
We recommend contacting the one of the following companies to arrange said Defects Report:

The Home Inspection Hub - 1300 071 283
Joe Borg - Joe Borg Building Inspections - 0410 545 454
Buildsafe Insurance Brokers Pty. Ltd (for insurance purposes) - 1300 763 016
