Common questions
Do I need a solicitor to look over my Contract before I sign?
Yes, it is crucial that you forward to us a copy of your Contract before you sign. By doing this, you will allow us time to review the Contract and ensure that the Contract aligns with your rights and interests. Please do not sign any document before your solicitor has the opportunity to peruse it.
Do I need to have a Form 2 Seller Disclosure Statement prepared?
A Form 2 Seller Disclosure Statement is a recently introduced legal requirement for Sellers in Queensland. The Seller must prepare the Disclosure Statement in accordance with the legislation, conduct relevant searches and provide a copy to the prospective Buyer before the Buyer signs the Contract. If you do not provide the Buyer with a Disclosure Statement before they sign the Contract, the Buyer may be able to terminate the Contract.
I did not receive a copy of the Form 2 before I signed the Contract. What do I do?
If you did not receive a copy of the Form 2 (Seller Disclosure Statement) prior to signing the Contract, it is important that you contact your solicitor immediately and seek legal advice. We recommend that you carefully review all correspondence received from the real estate agent and/or your solicitor to gather any evidence confirming that the Form 2 was not provided before you entered into the Contract.
Under the Property Law Act 2023, it is a legal requirement that a buyer is given the disclosure statement before signing the Contract of Sale. If this requirement has not been met, you have the right to terminate the Contract and have your deposit refunded. This right can generally be exercised at any time up until settlement.
While you may choose to proceed with the purchase without having received the Form 2, please be aware that doing so may limit your ability to make any claims against the seller after settlement in relation to the property. If you wish to proceed with the Contract we strongly recommend that, with the assistance of your solicitor, you request the Form 2 from the seller before taking any further steps. You will be proceeding on the understanding that you reserve your right to terminate the Contract at any time up until settlement. If the disclosure is not provided or if the information disclosed is not satisfactory you can terminate the Contract.
Should I do a building and pest inspection?

Should I do a pre-settlement inspection?
Whilst not required, it is highly recommended that you attend a pre-settlement inspection of the property before you provide your solicitors with instructions to proceed to settlement to ensure the property is in the same state as when you signed the Contract of Sale. The pre settlement inspection is an opportunity for you to attend the property and be satisfied that the property is completely vacant (if the contract provides for it) and ready for handover, no fixtures or included chattels have been removed and all appliances are in working order as they were previously.
It is also vital to check that the property has not been damaged in any way as a result of the vendor (or their tenants) vacating the property as it provides you with an opportunity to raise these issues and enter into negotiation for repair/ compensation prior to settlement.
Once settlement has occurred you are accepting the property as is in its current state and any issues raised after taking possession are now your liability. For these reasons it is in your best interest to arrange and attend a pre settlement inspection of the property you are purchasing or have a trusted associate attend on your behalf.
