Hi All,
I have a conditional agreement on a vacant property. I noticed that the agent (and vendors) have listed all the following three chattels (among others, of course):
- Curtains
- Drapes
- Blinds
The property only has drapes at the moment, I am tempted to ask my lawyer to withhold some money on settlement if I don't see blinds and/or curtains.
The last property I purchased mentioned had curtains listed under the chattels section of the S&P Agreement but on settlement date the previous owners took all the curtains and despite me mentioning this to my lawyer at the time, he did not withhold any money and I was extremely disappointed. Needless to say, I have not engaged that lawyer again.
My question is - do I have the rights to request for curtains and blinds (?) to be available during settlement of this new property?
Is the lawyer able to withhold money if they are not provided yet mentioned on the S&P Agreement?
Lastly, do you have any similar experiences with chattels being listed on the S&P Agreement but not present during settlement and what actions did you take?
