Are you ready for the Seller disclosure framework commencing 1 August 2025?

The Property Law Act 2023 will commence on 1 August 2025, including the new mandatory seller disclosure framework set out in Part 7 Division 4.

Set to bring significant changes to property transactions, the seller disclosure framework requires a seller to give a buyer prescribed information and prescribed certificates about the property before the buyer signs a contract. The new framework applies both to the sale of land and lots in a community titles scheme. The approved Form 2 and body corporate certificates have been published for information purposes, although practitioners should note these are not in force until 1 August 2025.
