Effective 1 August 2025, the Property Law Act 2023 (QLD) mandates a standardised process for disclosing key information in real estate transactions. The centrepiece of this process is the Form 2 Seller Disclosure Statement, which sellers must provide before a buyer signs the contract.
Form 2 Must Include
Verified title details and encumbrances
Statutory certificates (e.g. zoning, infrastructure notices, rates)
Disclosure of all known material facts
Legal Risk of Non-Compliance
Failure to provide accurate and complete disclosures can result in:
Contract termination at any point before settlement
Legal action under Australian Consumer Law
Reputational damage for agents and sellers
SearchX helps agents generate compliant, legally reviewed reports while centralising every disclosure document in one place.
How to Get the Most Out of SearchX
SearchX isn’t just a tool - it’s your competitive advantage.
With the introduction of the new Seller Disclosure regime in Queensland, SearchX empowers agents to simplify compliance, enhance transparency, and drive faster, more confident buyer decisions.
Here are three simple ways to maximise your use of SearchX:
1. Make It the Central Nervous System of Your Listing
Think of your SearchX report as the digital backbone of your campaign. In addition to the mandated Seller Disclosure Report, you can upload any supplementary documents buyers may need or want, such as:
Draft REIQ contracts;
Smoke alarm compliance certificates;
Tenancy agreements (RTA);
Rental appraisals;
Body corporate records;
Building and pest reports; and/or
Anything else you want buyers to see upfront.
This means buyers, their agents and financiers can access a single, trusted source of truth at any time -no more back-and-forth or digging through email chains.
2. Order It the Moment You Sign the Form 6
Ordering SearchX at the time of signing your Form 6 ensures that you will have the Seller Disclosure Report ready to embed directly into your listing (by link or QR Code) on platforms like realestate.com.au or domain.com.au.
Why wait until contract time? Embedding the link early means every prospective buyer has access to the Seller Disclosure Report from day one - increasing confidence and reducing unnecessary buyer hesitations.
3. Use It as a Listing Advantage
SearchX isn’t just for compliance - SearchX streamlines disclosure and is a strategic listing tool. We’re actively working with the banking sector and buyers' agents to educate them on the SearchX Seller Disclosure Report as a credible, complete and reliable disclosure source.
Sale timelines in Queensland can be significantly impacted by disclosure timing. When buyers and their representatives already trust and understand the format, it removes friction and speeds up due diligence.
Presenting a SearchX report is a signal to the market: this property is well-prepared, properly disclosed, and ready to transact.
