if you're buying a one-off house in the
country like where i live here i need
sort of a house rural house
outside the town or outside city i would
say the housing estate
one thing you're going to have to be
concerned about always is the services
and so what you need to do is your
solicitor
will as a matter of course look for a
thing called a declaration of identity
a declaration of identity is a statutory
declaration
from either an architect or an engineer
certifying
that the essential services that is
water
and storage are contained
entirely within the boundaries of the
folio
of the property that you're buying
there's no point discovering that
your well or your sewage or your storage
area for your septic tank
is in an adjoining property so it's
absolutely essential
that the services the essential services
water and sewerage are contained
entirely
within the boundaries of the property
that you're buying
and in order to be satisfied about that
you're going to be relying on a
statutory declaration
from an engineer or an architect stating
that
in a witnessed sworn
declaration statutory declaration so
that's what a declaration of identity is
it's a vital document
when you're buying a house that's not in
a town or a city
and that isn't serviced by the mains
services that has its own independent
services
for example a well and a septic tank or
an enviro cycle system for
each and so on hope you find this short
video useful
