From 1 August 2025, new seller disclosure laws will take effect in Queensland — and there’s no transition period. If you or your clients are selling property, you must comply from day one, even if the property is already listed.
The goal? More transparency, fewer disputes, smoother sales. The Property Law Act 2023 (QLD) and Property Law Regulation 2024 (QLD) set out what must be disclosed. For a reminder on the implications of these laws for real estate sales please refer to the following article: lawlab.com.au/blog/get-ready-biggest-changes-to-real-estate-sales-in-decades-coming-soon-to-queensland
The essentials to know
- A disclosure statement (Form 2) with the prescribed information and certificates must be given to buyers before signing the contract. This applies to all contracts entered into (i.e. signed by the last party) on or after 1 August 2025.
- Applicable certificates can include: title search, survey plan, pool compliance, building and planning notices, environmental notices, body corporate info and more.
- Off-the-plan sales are excluded — seller disclosure remains under the Land Sales Act and BCCM Act.
- Get it right — inaccurate or missing disclosure prior to a buyer signing can result in buyers terminating a contract and walking away any time before settlement.
