Selling in 4017 – What You Need to Know
If you’re preparing to sell in Bracken Ridge, Sandgate, Brighton, Deagon or Shorncliffe, there’s a new legal requirement you need to know – one that could affect your timeline, your contract, and your buyer’s confidence.
What’s Changed: Seller Disclosure Law (Effective 1 August 2025)
Under Queensland’s Property Law Act 2023, sellers must now provide a Disclosure Statement and prescribed certificates before a buyer signs the contract. These include:
• Title details and encumbrances
• Proposed transport infrastructure notices
• Environmental matters and tree disputes
• Rates, water charges, and body corporate certificates (if applicable)
If these aren’t provided correctly, the buyer may have the right to terminate – even if the offer was strong.
Smart Sellers Prepare Early:
• Get your documents ready
• Work with the right solicitor
• Talk to your agent. Be transparent
Smart Sellers Ask:
• Do I have all required certificates ready to go?
• Is my solicitor across the new disclosure rules?
• Have I discussed timing and presentation with my agent?
• Am I prepared to answer buyer questions confidently?
