Other Key Facts for Sellers


• Smoke Alarm Legislation: If selling a property post-2022, it must be fitted with interconnected, photoelectric smoke alarms in line with new Queensland fire safety laws. We’ll help you meet this standard before listing.
• Pool Compliance: If your property has a pool, you must provide a valid pool safety certificate or Form 36 for non-compliance, or arrange one prior to settlement.
• Tenanted Properties: If selling with a tenant in place, specific notice periods apply for inspections and for ending tenancy, depending on the lease type and sale terms.
• Contract Compliance: We partner with your legal representative or conveyancer to ensure all contracts meet the latest legislative requirements—no nasty surprises down the track.
