What we look for in a Metford contract
Every contract comes with a section 10.7 planning certificate from council, plus the title documents. In Metford and East Maitland, these are the issues we see most, and what they mean for you.
Swimming pools
Plenty of Metford homes have a backyard pool. The seller must attach a pool certificate of compliance, a recent occupation certificate, or a certificate of non-compliance to the contract. If it’s non-compliant, the buyer has 90 days after settlement to fix it, so factor that into your price.
Older homes and unapproved additions
Many Metford homes are a few decades old and have been added to since. Carports, decks, sheds and enclosed patios aren’t always approved. We check what council has on record and explain the risk before you exchange.
Villas and townhouses
Metford and East Maitland have plenty of villas and townhouses on strata or community title. We look at the levies, by-laws and records, and recommend a strata report before you commit.
Flood notations
Some lower lying land around East Maitland carries flood notations. The 10.7 certificate shows whether yours does. It can affect insurance and building, so get an insurance quote before you exchange.
