When purchasing residential property in Queensland, you’re entitled to a five-business-day cooling-off period under the Property Occupations Act 2014 (Qld).  This allows you to change your mind for any reason within that period.

Queensland Property Law Changes What Buyers and Sellers Need to Know

2025 Queensland Property Law Changes

Queensland Property Law Changes What Buyers and Sellers Need to Know

The property market in Queensland has seen some important changes recently that affect both buyers and sellers. Whether you’re purchasing your first home, selling an investment property, or managing a commercial transaction, it’s important to be aware of the new rules to ensure a smooth process.

At DJR Conveyancing, part of the OneStop Legal team, we help clients navigate these changes and complete their property transactions safely and efficiently.

What Buyers and Sellers Need to Know…..

Key Changes for Sellers

From 1st August 2025, sellers in Queensland must provide a Seller Disclosure Statement before the contract is signed. This includes:

  • Full property title information and any encumbrances

  • Pool safety certificates

  • Body corporate certificates (for strata or community title properties)

  • Environmental, contamination, or hazard details

  • Details of ongoing rates and charges

Failing to provide these documents can give buyers the right to cancel the contract. Sellers should also ensure that all relevant certificates and inspections are up to date.

Sellers can get guidance on preparing all necessary documents and complying with these new rules through OneStop Legal’s property services.

Key Changes for Buyers

Buyers now need to be more diligent when reviewing contracts, due to the additional disclosures. Key points include:

  • Carefully checking all certificates and disclosures provided by the seller

  • Understanding any encumbrances or easements that may affect the property

  • Seeking legal advice before signing contracts to avoid unexpected risks

Our team at DJR Conveyancing can assist buyers by reviewing all documents, explaining their implications, and ensuring the transaction meets current legal requirements. You can also explore OneStop Legal’s property settlement agent services for professional support.

Stamp Duty Changes

Queensland has recently introduced new measures for first-home buyers, including scrapping stamp duty for new builds. This makes homeownership more affordable for first-time buyers, but it also means buyers must ensure they meet eligibility requirements and lodge applications correctly.

For a detailed breakdown, see OneStop Legal’s guide to stamp duty changes.


How DJR Conveyancing Can Help

Property law can be complex, especially with ongoing legislative changes. At DJR Conveyancing, we help both buyers and sellers navigate the latest requirements, including:

  • Preparing and reviewing contracts

  • Ensuring all disclosure statements and certificates are correct

  • Guiding clients through settlement and stamp duty processes

Working with a professional conveyancer helps reduce risks and ensures transactions comply with current Queensland property law.
