When a Labrador Duplex Goes to Market, What Should the Seller Check?

When selling a duplex or paired dwelling in Labrador, prepare the information that explains how the two properties interact. Buyers may want to understand more than the residence itself, particularly where driveways, fencing, walls, insurance, services or outdoor areas are connected in some way.

A clear Labrador sales campaign should distinguish what belongs exclusively to the property from anything that is shared or governed by another arrangement.

Start with the title and property records

Locate the title, survey information and any body corporate or shared-property documents that apply.

Do not assume that an area is exclusively owned simply because the current owner has always used it. Likewise, an informal arrangement with the adjoining owner should not automatically be presented as a permanent property right.

Identify parking, driveway access, fencing and services accurately.

Where insurance or maintenance responsibilities are shared, have the position checked before giving buyers a definitive answer.

Make the duplex easy to assess

Photography should present the residence clearly while showing how access and outdoor areas work.

If the properties share a wall, driveway or other feature, there is no benefit in trying to hide it. Clear information allows buyers to decide whether the arrangement suits them.

The objective is to sell the strengths of the Labrador property without creating uncertainty about ownership or responsibility.
