A recent decision by a West Australian court to allow a buyer to cancel their contract over a “nasty neighbour” has sent shockwaves through the industry.

Ray Ellis, chief executive officer at First National, sits down with host Grace Ormsby to break down the court’s ruling and analyse its implications for the industry.

Outlining the precedent he believes the judgement sets nationally and questioning where the buck now stops with regard to due diligence, the CEO also elaborates on the importance of thorough research when purchasing a property and why such practices are important for buyers and sellers alike.
