We acted for the buyers of a residential property. Our basic search package includes Local Council Final Certificate searches.
This additional layer of investigation revealed that the house our clients were intending to purchase included a septic tank which was not approved by Council, which enabled our clients to make a full-informed decision about due diligence on the property.
We alerted the issue to the seller, and had them rectify the issue prior to settlement, ensuring that the buyers could enjoy their new property without final approval certification headaches or risks.
