From “Buyer Beware” to “Seller Must Declare” On 1 August 2025, Queensland’s property landscape fundamentally changed. The new seller disclosureregime applies to almost all freehold property sales—residential or commercial, freestanding or within acommunity titles scheme. This marks a clear move away from the traditional buyer beware model towards a framework where theseller must declare. The result: greater consistency and certainty for buyers, but also higher compliancerisks for sellers. Simpler Contracts, But Greater RisksThere are now only two contracts of sale:– One for residential property; and– One for commercial property. This applies whether the property is a stand-alone lot or part of a community titles scheme.⚠️Read More →

Brisbane, 26 August 2025 — Australia’s real estate sector is hurtling toward its biggest compliance shake-up in decades, with the federal government confirming that anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF) obligations will extend to real estate professionals from 1 July 2026. The reforms—passed by Parliament in late 2024 and now being implemented by AUSTRAC—will require agencies to enrol with the regulator, build risk-based compliance programs, verify clients, file suspicious matter reports, and keep detailed records. (AUSTRAC) Under AUSTRAC’s published timetable, enrolment for newly regulated businesses opens on 31 March 2026, giving agencies a short runway to formalise systems before the legal start date. AUSTRAC has also flagged “core guidance” forRead More →

I remarked to the managing director recently that the pursuit of perfection could drive a man insane. Yeah, I know, it’s a short drive. Her retort suggested that, through her presence, I had indeed succeeded in such a quest and miraculously I had remained mildly rational. For it is received wisdom that the MD is perfect and I should thank my lucky stars for her continued indulgence. I chose to reply with an ill-advised “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” remark. I’m sure that once I regain full use of my faculties and have the stitches removed, I will reflect and regret inRead More →

The Managing Director and I recently returned from a sojourn to Canada and Alaska. Our mission, as I’m sure some of you will appreciate, was to use some Covid cancellation credits and continue our plan to spend every last cent before we fall off the twig. Hmmm, Covid credits. Whatever happened to Covid? We seem to have gone from being locked in our houses clinging to our last square of toilet paper with the stormtroopers outside to no longer being too worried about the dreaded plague. Talk about mass hysteria. Might be lessons in all that for the current wailing over other expected catastrophic crises,Read More →

As I sit here in an airport lounge contemplating the meaning of life my thoughts turn to our national carrier, the flying kangaroo, the displayer of the Yes, the virtue signalling disgrace now facing multiple client lawsuits, to say nothing of the action commenced by the ACCC. All this before we even start to contemplate the cosy arrangements between government and Qantas to freeze a competitor out of the game and assist in customers being ripped off, cheated and treated appallingly. The latest accusations of Qantas selling tickets on cancelled flights sounds a lot like the “advice for no service” accusations aired during the bankingRead More →

As some of you will know I’m a bit of a music nut. I find lyrics interesting and often ponder the meaning in popular songs. I’m also fascinated by the influence of love found and lost in modern music. I bet if you were forced to listen to only songs that didn’t mention love, relationships, heartache etc you’d soon get very sick of Midnight Oil preaching to you. Don’t get me wrong, a red hot band no doubt and a bit of preaching never hurt I guess. Maybe just dialled down a notch or two. Anyway, I’ve got the headphones on with songs of loveRead More →
