In this episode of Property, Straight Up, host Mel Dennis sits down with Inna Segal, director of RET Conveyancing, to talk about what can go wrong when buying or selling property and how to make sure it doesn't happen to you.

Inna has over ten years of experience as a licensed conveyancer and has spent the last five as director of RET Conveyancing. She is the person who sees the mistakes before they become disasters, and in this conversation she shares exactly what those mistakes are and how to avoid them.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• A conveyancer is not optional. Inna explains what the role covers and why skipping it is a costly mistake.
• The Section 32 is one of the most important documents in any transaction. Inna explains what to look for and what a defective one can cost you.
• Finance timing matters more than buyers expect. Thirty days goes faster than you think, and missing the window carries real risk of default.
• Skipping a building and pest inspection is a gamble, not a shortcut.
• Section 27 lets vendors in Victoria access their deposit before settlement, and most don't know it exists.
• Tenanted properties carry a vacant possession risk that has ended deals entirely. Inna shares the cautionary tale.
• Undisclosed renovation works can come back on sellers under the seven-year disclosure rule.

ABOUT DOMAIN & CO
Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest decisions of your life. Often the biggest financial decision you'll ever make. Bigger than anything else you'll sign your name to.

And the people meant to help you make it have started to look a lot like the people you didn't trust in the first place.

The polished ones in the sharp suits. The corporate machines who never learn your name. Or worst of all. No one. Just you and a portal and a hunch.

We've spent thirty years on both sides of property. The buy and the sell. The boom and the bust. The houses that grew. The ones that didn't. The agents you'd want in your corner. The ones you wouldn't.

We've walked the same families through five, six transactions across decades. First home. Family home. Forever home. The next chapter after that.

So we don't pitch. We don't perform. We don't take work we don't believe in. We just tell you what we'd do, if it were us in your position.

For property, told straight. We're your property people.
