LEASE:

Is the property subject to a lease or another form of tenancy or licence? The terms of the lease should be carefully checked to ensure they do not conflict with your intended use.

CONTAMINATION:

The relevant enquiries should be made with the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA).

BUILDING STRUCTURE:

As there is no specific statutory warranty, you should have the structure checked for any defects.

GST:

Consider your GST position. Is the property being sold inclusive or exclusive of GST. Make sure the Contract clearly addresses your GST position.
