The vast majority of time, buyers are very happy with the standard of cleanliness when they take possession of their new home. Occasionally it falls short of their expectations. Perhaps the buyer has been renting for some time and expecting a bond clean as is the case when renting. What does the contract say in this regards? The standard contract doesn't specify a specific standard of cleanliness. It states that the property should be in a similar condition to that when it was inspected plus fair wear and tear since that date. If certain standards need to be adhered to, it is always best to make it clear within in the contract at the time of signing. www.brendanhoman.com.au
