QLD Seller Disclosure Laws

What’s Changing?
Queensland is shifting from a “buyer beware” system to a “seller responsibility” regime under the Property Law Act 2023. Sellers must now provide buyers with detailed information and documents about the property before the contract is signed. This means more transparency and fewer surprises — but also more obligations for sellers.

Your Responsibilities as a Seller
Starting August 1, you must provide:

• A completed Seller Disclosure Statement (Form 2)
• All relevant prescribed certificates and documents related to your property
• Additional documents if your property is under a Body Corporate (e.g., certificates, financial statements, by-laws)
• These documents must be provided to prospective buyers before they sign the contract.

Failing to comply can result in contract termination, legal claims, or even the buyer getting a full refund.

Why Is This Important?
These laws protect buyers but also protect sellers — when you disclose accurately and on time, you reduce the risk of disputes and legal headaches later. Transparency builds trust and speeds up your sale process.
