Conveyancing for Sellers

Selling a property in Queensland now starts earlier than it used to. From 1 August 2025, under the Property Law Act 2023, a seller must give the buyer a signed Form 2 Seller Disclosure Statement and the prescribed certificates before the buyer signs the contract of sale. That single change has made getting a solicitor involved at the listing stage, rather than after a contract is signed, far more important. Brisbane Conveyancers is a referral service, not a law firm, and we connect sellers with Queensland Law Society-member solicitors who handle the sale from preparation through to settlement.

The solicitor we refer you to prepares your contract of sale on the standard REIQ form, assembles the Form 2 disclosure statement and the prescribed certificates, and makes sure everything that must be disclosed is disclosed before a buyer commits. Getting the disclosure right protects the sale: missing or incorrect disclosure can give a buyer rights to terminate, so this is not a step to leave to chance.

Once a buyer is found, the solicitor manages the contract through to settlement. They respond to the buyer's requisitions (the formal questions the buyer's solicitor sends about the property and title), coordinate with your bank to discharge any existing mortgage, calculate the settlement adjustments for council rates, water and any body corporate fees, and complete settlement electronically through PEXA, the online platform used to lodge documents and transfer ownership. You receive a settlement statement showing the final figures and the balance payable to you.

This service suits owner-occupiers selling the family home, investors selling a tenanted property, and anyone selling a unit or townhouse where body corporate records and strata disclosure come into play. Where the property is tenanted, the solicitor also addresses the tenancy and any rent adjustments as part of the sale.

On cost, many solicitors in our network offer a fixed professional fee for a routine sale, so the legal cost is clear from the outset. That fee typically covers standard professional work; government charges, search and certificate fees and other disbursements are additional and confirmed separately in writing. We are a referral network and never set or charge that fee.

If you are preparing to sell a Brisbane property, the earlier you involve a solicitor the smoother the disclosure and contract steps tend to be. Share a few details and we will connect you with a Queensland Law Society-member solicitor for a fixed-fee quote, usually within one business day.
