Guide to the Seller Disclosure Regime

What is the Seller Disclosure Regime?

The new Seller Disclosure Regime comes into effect in Queensland on 1 August 2025. It legally requires property sellers to provide buyers with key information upfront – before the contract is signed. This includes the Form 2 Seller Disclosure Statement and various supporting documents and search results. The goal is to make property transactions more transparent and reduce disputes.

What documents must I provide?

Under the new legisation, as seller, you must provide the buyer with:

• a completed and signed Form 2 Seller Disclosure Statement.
• prescribed certificates which may include:
  • Title search
  • Registered plan for the property
  • Body Corporate records (if property is within a body corporate)
  • Rates and Waters information
  • Any existing notices, orders or proposal affecting the property

These are legal documents which we can help you prepare.

When do I need to provide disclosure? 

You must provide the disclosure statement to the buyer before they sign the Contract. If you fail to do so, the buyer may be able to terminate the contract or seek compensation.

What happens if I don’t comply? 

Non-compliance can result in:

• termination of the contract by the byer
• delays in settlement
• legal and financial consequences

Avoid risks by preparing your documents early. We can assist you.

How can I prepare now? 

It is advisable to have the Seller Disclosure Statement prepared at the time you list your property, so that the sales and contract process is not delayed.

• order your property searches
• prepare the Form 2 Disclosure statement on your behalf
