Sellers Disclosure Statements

From 1 August 2025, all contracts for the sale of residential property in Queensland must include a Seller’s Disclosure Statement if the contract is dated on or after this date.

This important change has been introduced to improve transparency for buyers and reduce the risk of disputes during the conveyancing process.

What Is a Seller’s Disclosure Statement?

A Seller’s Disclosure Statement is a legally required document that the seller must give to a buyer before they sign a contract. It includes vital information about the property that could impact a buyer’s decision to proceed with the purchase.

This document must be accurate and up to date, and it includes key certificates and searches that reveal things like:

✔ Title details (e.g., easements, covenants, encumbrances)
✔ Zoning and planning restrictions
✔ Flooding or environmental risks
✔ Current rates and body corporate information
✔ Any notices or approvals affecting the property

Why It Matters

If the disclosure is incomplete, inaccurate, or not provided in time, the buyer may have the right to terminate the contract before settlement.

This means it’s more important than ever to ensure that everything is correctly prepared before listing a property for sale.
