The Real Estate Institute of Victoria has welcomed the Victorian Government\u2019s recent decision to ease restrictions on private property inspections.<\/p>\n
REIV CEO Gil King said it was pleasing to see common sense ultimately prevail through the removal of the onerous restrictions.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe sector worked hard to inform Government on how the harsh shutdown of real estate services achieved nothing positive; in fact, it caused substantial damage at all levels of property market participation and paralysed those with a desperate need to find accommodation or realise their assets,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s now important that our members lead sellers, buyers and renters through COVID safe measures and help ensure the sector returns safely back to its buoyant best.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe REIV is ready to support all members through precise execution of the new restrictions.\u201d<\/p>\n
On the Victorian Government\u2019s COVID roadmap, Mr King said, \u201cWe have reviewed the sections relevant to the real estate sector and are seeking more information, mainly because there is a lack of detail that\u2019s creating substantial confusion and uncertainty.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe roadmap is long and ambiguous which is making it very difficult for businesses to plan and prepare.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe recently announced processes regarding property inspections for sale, end of lease or settlement in restricted areas remains a guessing game with many aspects and advice ignored and questions unanswered.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n- Inspections by appointment only – Inspection times should NOT be advertised to avoid the risk of people arriving at the property without your prior knowledge. Inspections should be by private appointment only.<\/li>\n
- One household in the property at one time<\/li>\n
- No occupants can be present in the property at the time of the inspection – Occupants should leave the property during an inspection for one of the permitted reasons.<\/li>\n
- The people required to facilitate an inspection should remain outside the premises during the inspection<\/li>\n
- A potential buyer\/ renter may travel outside the 10 kilometre radius to attend a pre-arranged inspection appointment<\/li>\n
- Residents of regional Victoria are permitted to attend an inspection in a restricted area, adhering to the rules applicable in the restricted area.<\/li>\n
- Agents must ensure detailed records are kept of all individuals attending the appointment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
