Implied Warranty - Order Search of Body Corporate Records

Select this option if you are looking for section 223 BCCM Act Implied Warranty information.

The form 2 seller disclosure statement includes a body corporate certificate. That certificate
includes information about the lot and crucial background information about the body
corporate.
What it doesn’t include is anything about matters ongoing in the common property of the
body corporate.
Section 223 BCCM Act requires the seller of a lot in a body corporate warrant to the buyer
that the common property is free from latent and patent defects except for those from fair
wear and tear or otherwise disclosed in the contract.
That means if there are ongoing issues in the common property of the body corporate those
matters need to be disclosed.
If you’re not aware of matters, then to find out you will need to carry out a search of body
corporate records and make a statement. This is referred to as an implied warranty
statement.

Cost

In the past we were able to take advantage of economies of scale and carry out implied
warranty searches in conjunction with disclosure searches.
With the shift to Form 2 seller disclosures and body corporate certificates we will not be
accessing the body corporate records so frequently. As a result we have had to shift the
implied warranty search cost to align with other inspection costs.

Seller search of body corporate records ……………………………………………………$300 incl GST

What’s Included in the Search

A standard seller search of body corporate records will include copies of the following
documents:
– General meeting minutes for last two years
– Committee meeting minutes for last 12 months
– Sinking Fund Forecast
– Copies of relevant pages any building / engineer reports for last ten (10) years
– Cladding compliance (if applicable)

If there is other information in the records, you require you are free to request that
information as well.
We will include the implied warranty statement with the search, however we will not review
the minutes rather refer buyers to the documents attached.

Turnaround Times

We expect most seller search of records to be completed within 3 – 5 business days,
variable depending on whomever manages the records.
