The new age in titles registration
As homeowners, we strive to pay off our mortgages and one day obtain a copy of our Title Deed, officially known as a Certificate of Title. That little bit of paper that says your castle is yours. Well not anymore.

Why Your Form 2 Seller Disclosure Should Be Prepared by a Solicitor
Selling property in Queensland has changed significantly under the Property Law Act 2023. Since 1 August 2025, Sellers are required to provide a Form 2 Seller Disclosure Statement and prescribed certificates to a buyer before the buyer signs a contract. The disclosure regime requires information relating to title matters, zoning, planning and environmental issues, transport infrastructure proposals, encumbrances, heritage listings and other matters that may affect the property. Failure to comply may give a buyer rights to terminate a contract before settlement.
While some sellers may be tempted to prepare the disclosure themselves, errors or omissions can be costly. Inaccurate planning or zoning information, undisclosed encumbrances, environmental issues or incomplete prescribed certificates can place a transaction at risk and potentially result in disputes, delays or contract termination.
At Evolution Legal, our experienced property lawyers understand the complexities of Queensland’s seller disclosure requirements. We work closely with sellers and real estate agents to obtain the necessary searches, review planning and title information, identify potential risks and ensure your Form 2 disclosure is accurate and compliant.
Whether you are selling a house, unit, investment property or commercial property, Evolution Legal can take the stress out of the process, helping you achieve a smoother transaction and greater peace of mind from contract to settlement.
