In Queensland’s evolving property market, a Seller Disclosure Statement is your key to transparent, compliant sales.
Effective from August 1, 2025, the Statutory Seller Disclosure Regime requires sellers of residential, commercial or vacant land to disclose critical details like title issues, defects, pool safety, and zoning, to the buyer before signing contracts.
When you engage Argon Law to prepare your Seller Disclosure Statement, our experienced team will make the process straightforward and stress-free. We’ll guide you through each step to ensure all information about your property is accurately disclosed and fully compliant with Queensland property law.
A Seller Disclosure Statement (referred to as Form 2 in Queensland under the Property Law Act 2023) is a legally required and standardised document which outlines the key attributes about a property and details potential risks to buyers.
The statement is intended to provide potential buyers with up-to-date information about the property before signing a Contract for Sale and reduce nasty surprises and the risk of disputes.
Since August 2025, Queenslanders looking to sell their property have been required to disclose:
This is a big shift from the old “buyer beware” model to sellers now being accountable for the transparency of the property, with the intent to reduce buyer remorse and legal challenges. Now sellers who do not provide relevant and compliant documents are liable to contract termination or penalties so ensure your statement is thoroughly prepared and up to date before you go to sell!
Argon Law makes navigating Queensland’s property disclosure requirements simple and efficient with our easy 5-step process. Here’s how we prepare your Form 2.
We start with a consultation to get an understanding of your property and its story. We’ll ask for details on titles, improvements, defects, easements, and encumbrances. This sets the foundation for us to prepare accurate and compliant disclosures under the new 2025 rules.
With the basics sorted, we’ll begin compiling all of the required documents. Some of these will be requested from you, and others are obtained directly through our trusted search providers. These documents include the likes of council rates and water notices, title searches, zoning certificates, and body corporate records (where applicable). These documents will be carefully reviewed, and we’ll discuss anything that requires clarification.
Our experienced property division will draft your Seller Disclosure Statement, ensuring it aligns with all Queensland legislative requirements and clearly reflects any issues that must be disclosed to potential buyers.
You’ll then have the opportunity to review the draft and confirm that all details are accurate and complete before we finalise the document.
Once approved, we provide your completed Seller Disclosure Statement, ready for you to sign and give to prospective buyers before entering into a Contract for Sale.
Most Seller Disclosure Statements can be completed within a few days. However, the timeframe may vary depending on the number of searches required, how quickly search results are received, and how soon we receive the necessary information from you.
Since the 1st of August 2025, Queenslanders have been required to provide a Form 2 plus certificates like title searches and pool safety before contracts when selling their property.
Yes – the new scheme covers all property types including residential, commercial, and vacant land sale and sellers are required to provide disclosures.
It’s important to disclose any defects or encumbrances fully as part of your Form 2 to avoid any claims of misrepresentation. Our team at Argon Law can assist you here.
While it’s possible to prepare your own Form 2, any errors or omitted disclosures could lead to legal complications with the sale of your property. Seeking legal advice to prepare your disclosures ensures compliance and peace of mind.
