Are there any legal considerations or contracts that need to be prepared before listing my property for sale on the Gold Coast?

Contract of Sale

This is the key legal document outlining the terms and conditions of the property sale. It includes details such as the purchase price, description of the property, completion date, special conditions and any fixtures and fittings included. The contract must also contain certain mandatory disclosure documents as required by Queensland law.

Vendor Disclosure Documents

As a vendor you are required by law to provide certain disclosure documents to prospective buyers. These documents include a title search, zoning information, any encumbrances or easements affecting the property and other relevant information about the condition of the property.

Form 6

This form is required by law to be attached to the contract of sale. It provides important information to purchasers about their rights and responsibilities when buying a property.

Title Search

A title search is carried out to verify your legal ownership of the property and to uncover any encumbrances, mortgages or other interests that may affect the property.

Land Title Verification Certificate (LTVC)

This is required to confirm the ownership of the property and provide information on any mortgages, caveats or other interests registered against the title.

Planning and Zoning Certificates

These certificates provide information on the zoning regulations, development restrictions and any planning approvals that apply to the property.

Pool Safety Certificate

If the property has a pool, a valid pool safety certificate must be provided to the buyer prior to completion.

Smoke Alarms

All homes being sold require hardwired photoelectric, interconnected smoke alarms. Non-removable 10-year battery smoke alarms can be installed in place.

Conveyancing Documents

Legal professionals, such as conveyancers or solicitors, are responsible for preparing and checking the legal documents required for the property transaction, including the contract of sale and other necessary forms.

Waiver of Cooling-Off Period

Buyers generally have a five-day cooling-off period after signing the contract of sale. However, this can be waived by mutual agreement between the parties.

Special Conditions

Depending on the particular circumstances of the sale, you may need to include special conditions in the contract. These may deal with matters such as repairs, renovations or special arrangements between the parties.

It’s important to note that Queensland property law is complex. It is highly recommended that you use a qualified conveyancer or solicitor to prepare and review the necessary legal documents. These professionals will ensure that all legal requirements are met, protect your interests as a vendor and guide you through the entire process.
