In the grip of COVID-19, this topic is particularly pertinent, because vendors, buyers and their agents have all felt the impact of the restrictions imposed on us during this difficult period. However, Cate and Amy have been capturing virtual inspections for expat and interstate clients for many years now, and they share their remote client inspection practices with listeners in this special episode.

Amy regales some juicy examples of contract-not-matching-reality, and she details how dire these situations could have been, (despite a lawyer’s critical review) with some real-life examples.

Cate sheds light on some of the common boo-boos that buyers miss in relation to these types of mismatch errors, such as villa unit courtyard ownership vs exclusive use of the land.

Amy opens with a great statement, “the way we film a video is very different from the way an agent films a video. We have to capture the property, warts and all,” which is a great prelude into a gripping episode that is armed with critical thinking and practical advice for buyers.
