Hi everyone I am back from holidays, had a wonderful time. Look forward to catching up on all the news whilst I was away. Give me a call or drop in Cheers Wendy :) Rotorua office

Hello all I read an interesting  in article in the Australian Institute of Conveyancers NSW newsletter the other day about cheap conveyancing and settlement fees.

The Profession of Conveyancing is not opposed to  competition on fees based on comparable services. The choice of a Conveyancer based on the fees has a corrupting influence in the market place.

Those that offer low fees in a Professional and Legal environment to win clients is stepping into dangerous territory. In most cases such Firms are cutting corners without the client knowing and putting the client at risk especially when a transaction goes pear shape, and this also has an impact on the other party acting on the other side of the dealing.

Service delivery to the client is greatly compromised. When someone is willing to pay peanuts you can guarantee they will be dealing with monkeys, and in the end will always wish they had engaged with a Professional.

The transaction should not be about the cheapest fee, but based on integrity, trust and honor. In consideration of the value of the dealing being settled.

Property Conveyancing Services Ltd prides it self on professionalism, service delivery, industry expertise and experience.

Would love your feed back and comments. Cheers Kim :)

Misrepresentation

November 2, 2009

During the course of contractural negotiations a Vendor/Purchaser or Agent may make statements about the property being offered for sale. Misrepresentation could be made verbally, in marketing or advertising material, or in writing. Generally speaking a misrepresentation is a false statement relating to present or past fact. The Agent and Vendor must be very careful about claims they make about a property. This is going to be more important than ever under the new Real Estate Agents Act, as accountability is going to be high on the Agenda for the new Board.

Here are but a few examples:

1. A statement to a Purchaser that the government valuation of a property was $21,000 where infact is was $15,500

2. A Vendor who covered up defects in the foundations of a property by filling in and papering over cracks was misrepresenting the state of the property.

Common sense must prevail, and a Purchaser should also make all due enquiries prior to entering into any Agreement for Sale and Purchase.
