With the introduction of Queensland’s mandatory Seller Disclosure Regime on 1 August 2025, real estate professionals across the state are preparing for one of the most significant legislative changes in recent years.
As the industry shifts away from the traditional ‘buyer beware’ model, real estate professionals will now be responsible for preparing and providing prescribed disclosure documents before a contract of sale is signed. This is more than a legal requirement – it’s a change that will impact every listing you manage and adds new compliance responsibilities to your role.
Securexchange is proud to be leading the way by developing a secure, purpose-built workflow solution to support you through this change. Launching in the coming months, our powerful new workflow will seamlessly integrate into your day-to-day operations, reducing admin, minimising risk, and saving time, so you can continue focusing on what matters most – your clients and your listings.
With Securexchange supporting agents and InfoTrack assisting lawyers and conveyancers, we are committed to helping the entire property industry embrace this reform with clarity and confidence.
In October 2023, the Queensland Government announced it had passed the Property Law Bill 2023, replacing the Property Law Act 1974. A key feature of this reform is the introduction of the Seller Disclosure Regime, designed to modernise and strengthen Queensland’s property laws.
Under the new legislation, sellers must provide a prospective buyer with relevant prescribed certificates and a disclosure statement for the property being sold. This applies to both residential and commercial property, ensuring buyers have all essential information upfront before signing a contract of sale.
The REIQ has provided further guidance to help agents understand these requirements.
As a real estate agent, you will play a pivotal role in this process by preparing and sharing disclosure documents on behalf of sellers. These documents must meet strict compliance standards, and if they are incomplete or incorrect, buyers may be entitled to terminate the contract at any time before settlement.
Although the reform comes into effect on 1 August, it applies to any property sold after that date, including listings already on the market before then. That’s why early preparation is key. By understanding your obligations now and adopting the right tools, you can manage the disclosure process smoothly and confidently.
With change on the horizon, stand out as the agent who is informed, proactive and prepared. Securexchange empowers real estate professionals to operate at their highest level, helping you stay compliant while enhancing your client experience.
By preparing early, you show that you take legal obligations seriously, enhancing your professional value, building stronger client relationships, and positioning yourself as a trusted advisor in every transaction.
