I mean really, you'd be mad to buy anything post 1991. P It's cheaper avoid any building post 1991, why even bother with building inspections, just avoid like the plague.

It is very much appreciated. On the contrary I believe the new Act will see fewer private sellers, mainly because customers will learn that it is much safer to buy through an agent. If I had a slightly leaky home and was hoping my home would sell for a non-leaky price I'd sell privately. Much better chance of privately (via Trade-me perhaps even) finding someone naive with a bucket of cash. Thanks for your ongoing support of salespeople/licensees Alistair.

I agree with you completely that a sale and purchase process through a licensed real estate agent is a professional process governed by the rules of the new act. Why would a purchaser want to undertake a private sale process and remove themselves from the protection under the new act? A seller also needs to be aware of their responsibilities in the sale transaction and once again is protected somewhat by the act. Both of these people increase their risk by exposing themselves to the private sale process. Great post Alistair.
