From 1 January 2022, dwellings or residential units offered for sale must have smoke alarms installed in accordance with the Fire and Emergency Services Act 1990 and Building Fire Safety Regulations 2008. Clause 7.8 of the REIQ residential contract imposes a contractual obligation on the seller to install smoke alarms complying with these new requirements in any dwelling on the Land or a Lot prior to settlement.If smoke alarms are not installed the buyer will be entitled to an adjustment on the price payable at settlement of 0.15% of the purchase price.The buyer will need to claim this adjustment prior to settlement. There is no right to terminate or claim damages for a breach of Clause 7. A right to access the property with notice to inspect the smoke alarms has been added to clause 8.2.As we are doing electrical work - it does require upgrades whenever electrical work is performed that alters, extends, or adds to an existing installation.This comes directly from industry guidance summarising the Electrical Safety Act, Electrical Safety Regulation, and the Wiring Rules (AS/NZS 3000:2018).
