Clause to enter house prior to settlement

Timothy Shue
  • Christchurch, Canterbury
Posted

I am in the process of buying my first house. It is a brand new house with no one currently living in it. I am boarding at the moment and as such don't have things like furniture, cutlery, appliances and homeware items. I was thinking of putting in a clause that allows me to access the house prior to settlement date to allow me to put furniture and so forth in the house. Is this a good idea? Does anyone have examples of the wording of such a clause? I have also included an early access clause that will allow me to take tenants through the house prior to settlement as well.

Thanks

Timothy

@Timothy Shue

Deals fall apart for all kinds of stupid stuff like disagreements over chandeliers...
