Whether tenants or buyers, mansion is often the most taboo thing in the real estate trading / leasing market. A good house, if there has been a murder, will also become a market "abandoned".
The so-called mansion, traditionally refers to the occurrence of abnormal death and subjective fear of the house. Therefore, the villain is also known as the "haunted house."
The latest report shows that many people who live or buy villains are unaware of the history of their homes. At the same time, no agency in the sale / lease of such houses will make it clear in the advertisement that this is a villain.
At present, the disclosure of mansion in Australia is still a relatively vague area of legal definition. At the same time, Australia has a clear difference on the buyer's right to know.
What is the number of people living in villains in Australia?
According to statistics, in recent years, there are about 220 murders per year in Australia. A large part of this is an indoor homicide.
Robin Turner, an Adelaide real estate agent, said tens of thousands of people across Australia did not know where they lived once "dead".
"of course, some of them don't care if they know it," he said. In their view, house is just a place to live in brick-and-tile cement. As long as the rent / house price is cheaper, they won't care. "
In contrast, a report released by the Queensland Real Estate Association (REIQ) shows that in recent years, home buyers' attention to homes that are not villains has continued to rise, according to a report released by the Queensland Real Estate Association.
Antonia Mercorella, chief executive of the Queensland Real Estate Association, said: "A lot of people seem uneasy about living in villains. At the same time, we have received more and more calls from real estate agents to see how they should deal with the issue from a legal perspective. "
Australia's first mansion ticket
Australia's first buyer-seller dispute over a villain occurred more than a decade ago!
In the early hours of July 11, 2001, 21-year-old Sef Gonzales brutally killed his father, Teddy Gonzales (, aged 46, mother Mary Loiva Josephine (, age 43, and sister Clodine, aged 18, at his home in North Ryde, northwest Sydney.
In December 2004, North Ryde's real estate agent, LJ Hooker, successfully sold the Sef house to a Buddhism, but they didn't tell the buyer exactly how the house had been killed, and the buyer appealed when he discovered it. And successfully returned the house, and LJ Hooker received a fine of 20, 000 yuan.
The incident was the first ticket issued by (the NSW Office of Fair Trading), the New State Fair Trading Office, for "hiding villain information from property sales."
Definition of mansion in Australian law
In Australia, although the property Act is enacted by the Australian states government, there are many common similarities.
For example, one of the most basic principles of the property Law is "buyer's notice (caveat emptor)". The existence of this fundamental principle suggests that buyers have an obligation to investigate any potential defects in the housing.
Mercorella, an real estate broker, said: "while real estate intermediaries have obligations and responsibilities to serve the best interests of their customers, they tend to show up in real life by negotiating a cheap price for customers."
It is because of the vague legal definition that many buyers buy villains unknowingly. Some unwitting tenants moved into the mansion.
