Are there any special disclosures I need to make about the history or condition of my property on the Gold Coast?

Land Use and Zoning

Disclose the property’s current zoning designation, which indicates how the land can be used and developed. Different zones have specific regulations and restrictions, and potential buyers should be aware of the permitted uses.

Environmental Factors

If the property is in a flood zone, bushfire zone or close to environmentally sensitive areas, you should disclose this information. Buyers need to be aware of the potential risks and requirements associated with these factors.

Erosion or Soil Stability

If the property is located in an area with known erosion problems or unstable soil conditions, buyers should be informed. This may affect the long-term stability of structures on the property.

Previous Land Use

Disclose any past uses of the land that may affect its current condition. For example, if the land was previously used for industrial purposes, buyers should be aware of potential environmental contamination.

Easements and Encumbrances

Inform buyers of any easements or encumbrances on the land. These may include rights of way, utility access or restrictions on certain activities.

Subdivision or Development Potential

If the property has subdivision or development potential, disclose this information. Buyers interested in future development opportunities will want to know about the land’s potential.

Native Vegetation and Habitat

If the property contains significant native vegetation or provides wildlife habitat, disclose this information. Buyers may need to comply with habitat conservation regulations.

Soil Stability Reports

If you have carried out any geotechnical surveys or soil stability reports, make them available to potential buyers. These reports can provide insight into the stability of the land and any potential risks.

Local Council Information

Provide information on any local council notices or orders relating to the land. This could include orders to rectify problems or comply with specific requirements.

Caveats or Restrictions

If there are any caveats or restrictions on the title to the land, such as building or development restrictions, disclose these to potential buyers.

Contaminated Land

If you are aware of any contamination on the land, whether, from previous industrial use or other sources, you have a duty to disclose this information to potential buyers.

Disclosures relating to the history and condition of a property’s land are crucial to ensuring transparency and allowing buyers to make informed decisions.
