Prior to the Settlement Day, the Purchaser has one further right to conduct a Pre-Settlement Inspection. At the Pre-Settlement Inspection, the Purchaser will accompany the Real Estate Agent around the Property to check all the chattels are working and all the fixtures and fittings that are being purchased remain where they were. If there are any issues with the Pre-Settlement Inspection, alert your lawyer as soon as possible and no later than the day before Settlement. Your lawyer will contact the Vendor’s lawyer to resolve these issues prior to settlement date.
