James Home Ratings is a system licensed by - Property Ratings pty ltd.
James Home Ratings, Q score, MyQ and James C price are copyright
protected 2005-2008 and have an australian patent. international patents
applied for. All care is taken to confirm property facts however some
can be verbal only and maybe incorrect. You must not rely on this
information only when purchasing a property. We strongly recommend the
services of a professional buying advocate/agent, pest and building
inspections, legal, town planning and architectural opinions if needed
PRIOR to purchase. In the state of Victoria the laws says selling agents
must represent the seller's interests first and for buyers it's caveat
emptor or buyer beware unless you have buye agent working for you.
Example - a selling agent can ask whatever price they like - it does not
have to be market. If a home has termites or building or appliance
faults in almost all cases that is the buyers responsibilty - not the
sellers. The paperwork can contain whatever special conditions the
seller wants - it is not buye friendly in many cases. There is no
cooling-off period at an auction. Get additional professional advice
PRIOR to purchase. |
