Local FAQs for Baulkham Hills
What pool documents should a Baulkham Hills house contract include?
If the property has a swimming pool or spa, the vendor must attach a valid certificate of compliance, an occupation certificate issued in the last 3 years with evidence of pool registration, or a valid certificate of non-compliance. This does not apply to a lot in a strata or community scheme with more than two lots. We check which document is attached and what it means for you before exchange.
Can I negotiate a longer settlement in Baulkham Hills?
Often yes, especially for upgrader transactions. The standard NSW contract sets completion 42 days after the contract date unless the parties agree otherwise, so a different date should be negotiated before exchange.
Should I have a contract reviewed before a Baulkham Hills auction?
Yes. There is no cooling-off period when you buy at auction, so special conditions and risks should be reviewed before you bid.
