Once upon a time, there was a young couple named Bob and Susan who were on the hunt for their dream home. They had been searching for months, and had finally found the perfect place. It had everything they wanted: a big backyard, a spacious kitchen, and a cozy fireplace. They were so excited that they immediately contacted their real estate agent and began the process of buying the home.
As they were going through the contract, they came across something called “subject clauses.” Bob and Susan had never heard of these before and didn’t know what they meant. They were worried that it might be something dangerous, like a hidden clause that would turn their dream home into a nightmare.
Their real estate agent, a wise and experienced woman named Mary, explained that the subject clauses were there to protect them and ensure that due diligence was done on the property. They included things like financing, inspection, title search, and more. Mary assured them that these clauses were a standard part of buying a home, and that they were there to act as a safety net for the buyers and allow them to do their due diligence on the property.
Bob and Susan were relieved to know that they had a safety net in place. They did their due diligence and everything seemed to be in order. They were ready to move forward with the purchase.
As they were about to sign the contract, Mary reminded them about something called “subject removal.” This was the period of time that a buyer had to review the information and documents associated with the subjects listed in the contract. The typical subject removal period was 7 days, but it could be shortened if necessary. Bob and Susan were confused, they had never heard of this before. Mary explained that it was like a trial period, where they could back out of the deal if something came up that made them unable to move forward with the purchase.
Bob and Susan were impressed by this safety net, but they also wanted to know what would happen if they did decide to back out. Mary explained that if something came up that made them unable to move forward with the purchase, the deal would simply finish, and the deposit would not be due. Bob and Susan were happy to hear this, as they didn’t want to lose their deposit if something unexpected happened.
With all their questions answered, Bob and Susan signed the contract and closed on the home. They were so excited to move in, they immediately began planning their housewarming party. However, just a few days after they moved in, they discovered a terrible problem. The house was infested with termites! Bob and Susan were devastated, they had no idea how they were going to pay for the repairs.
But then, Bob remembered something Mary had told them about the subject clauses. He immediately called her and explained the situation. Mary assured them that the subject clauses had protected them, and that they would be able to back out of the deal without losing their deposit. Bob and Susan were so grateful for the safety net that had protected them during their home buying journey.
Moral of the story: Always read the fine print, it’s for your own safety! And always have a wise and experienced real estate agent like Mary on your side.
In the end, Bob and Susan found another dream home, this time without termites, and they lived happily ever after. They threw a housewarming party and invited all of their friends and family, including Mary, who they thanked for her wisdom and guidance throughout the whole process. They also made sure to include termite inspection as one of their subject clause and lived without any worries.
The end!
In a nutshell, when buying a home, it is essential to have a safety net in place to protect the buyer and ensure that due diligence is done on the property. Subject clauses in contracts are one such safety net, and they cover a range of important areas such as financing, inspection, title search, property disclosure statement, strata documents, and sale. These clauses allow buyers to review all necessary information and documents associated with the property before making a final decision.
The subject removal period, which is typically 7 days, gives buyers time to review this information and decide if they want to move forward with the purchase. The deposit is typically due within 24 hours of subject removal, but if something comes up that makes the buyer unable to move forward with the purchase, the deposit is not due and the deal finishes.
