Warranties in Agreement for Sale and Purchase

Agreements for Sale and Purchase contain numerous warranties to provide assurances to the purchaser that they will get what they paid for. Vendors need to comply with the warranties under the Sale Agreement, and if they can’t, the warranties should be appropriately amended. But issues still arise after purchase.

Join us for a practical webinar examining the standard warranties contained in the TLANZ/REINZ Agreement for Sale and Purchase of Real Estate.

Richard will explore breaches including the operational status of chattels and appliances, the existence of undisclosed notices, consents for building works, or chattels that are encumbered through payments to a third party – referencing recent case law to share insights into the scope of warranties and the implications where breaches are alleged.

The session will also consider pre-contractual representations and share insights on how providing a clear and comprehensive overview of the property and its associated conditions before the agreement is signed can prevent misunderstandings and disputes.

Don’t miss this chance to gain practical insights from Richard’s extensive experience in residential property transactions, providing practical and effective advice for first home buyers through to experienced property investors and high net worth individuals on the sale and purchase of residential properties.
