Sellers Disclosure Statements Are Now A Requirement In Queensland Property Transactions
Under the Property Law Act 2023 (QLD), from 1st August 2025, all sellers will be legally required to provide a Form 2 Seller Disclosure Statement to a buyer before a contract can be signed. This applies to all property sales in Queensland from that date onward.
What This Means for You:
If your property is still on the market after 1 August 2025, you must provide a valid disclosure statement, which includes:
-
A current title search
-
A current survey plan
-
Any relevant notices or documents (e.g. easements, building approvals), identified during the disclosure process
This disclosure must be prepared by your solicitor. If you don’t have one, we’re happy to recommend professional services that can assist with this.
For Properties in a Body Corporate (e.g. Units, Apartments):
In addition to the above:
-
A Form 33 – Body Corporate Disclosure must also be provided (this is separate from your existing Body Corp Disclosure).
-
Form 33 can only be ordered from 1 August 2025 and may take up to 5 business days to obtain.
-
All required documentation must be received and signed before we are legally allowed to issue a contract to a buyer.
We understand this change may create some inconvenience, but please rest assured we are here to support you every step of the way and ensure your sale remains fully compliant with the updated legislation.
