Frequently Asked Questions about Selling Your Property in Queensland

Q: Do I need a lawyer before listing my property? 

A: It is definitely recommended to speak to an experienced conveyancer or property lawyer prior to listing. Preparing your Seller Disclosure Statement early helps avoid delays once a buyer is found and unnecessary headaches.

Q: What are my disclosure obligations as a seller? 

A: Sellers are now required to provide certain information about the sale. We guide you on what is required for your unique property and situation, and ensure everything is properly documented.

Q: What happens at settlement? 

A: Settlement is when the property transfers to the buyer, funds are exchanged, and any existing mortgage is discharged.

Q: Can issues arise after signing a contract? 

A: Yes, particularly if conditions are unclear or obligations are not met. Speaking to a lawyer or conveyancer early helps you prepare and minimise these risks.

Q: Is seller disclosure required in Queensland? 

A: Yes, sellers are now required to provide prescribed information to buyers. The exact requirements depend on the nature of the property and the transaction. Our team can provide you with the support you need to meet all your obligations. 

Q: What happens if something is missed or incorrect in the sale? 

A: Without proper preparation, terms or conditions may be missed and, in some cases, the buyer may have rights to terminate the contract or seek remedies. This can be a costly outcome and highlights the importance of getting legal advice early before you list your property for sale. 

Q: When should disclosure documents be prepared? 

A: Ideally before your property is listed. This ensures your contract is complete and ready when the final buyer is secured.
