Sellers Disclosure for Southport Properties
If you’re selling property in Southport, it’s important to make sure that you have a seller disclosure statement and that it meets the new Queensland legal requirements. From 1 August 2025, any one selling property in Queensland must provide a Form 2 Seller Disclosure Statement before signing a contract. This document outlines important information about the property, helping buyers make informed decisions and keeping your sale legally compliant.
For properties that are part of a body corporate, additional documents such as Body Corporate Form 33 and Form 34 may also be required.
Bush to Beach Legal works in partnership with Sellers Disclosure QLD, who specialise in preparing compliant seller disclosure statements across the state. Their experienced team prepares Form 2, Form 33 and Form 34 quickly and accurately, ensuring your disclosure is complete and ready before your contract is signed.
Together, we make sure your sale moves forward smoothly, with every detail handled correctly from the start.

Southport Conveyancing - Frequently Asked Questions
What is conveyancing?
Conveyancing is the legal process that finalises the transfer of property ownership between a buyer and seller. It ensures the sale or purchase complies with all legal requirements, the title is clear, and the transaction proceeds correctly. Conveyancing provides the legal framework that protects both parties and helps avoid disputes or delays.
What does a Southport conveyancer do?
A Southport conveyancer guides you through the property transaction, handling the practical and administrative tasks required to complete the sale or purchase. This includes preparing and reviewing contracts, conducting searches, coordinating with banks, and lodging necessary documents with the Titles Registry. At Bush to Beach Legal, our conveyancers work with solicitors to provide support for more complex matters, giving you confidence throughout your property journey.
How Queensland conveyancing differs?
While conveyancing serves the same purpose across Australia, each state has its own laws and procedures. In Queensland, including Southport and the wider Gold Coast region, there are a few key differences that buyers and sellers should be aware of.
In Queensland, property contracts are usually signed before all searches are completed. These contracts often include conditions such as finance approval and building and pest inspections, allowing some flexibility while still becoming binding once the conditions are met.
The state has also introduced a new seller disclosure regime, requiring sellers to provide specific information and documents upfront, including title details, encumbrances, and relevant certificates. This improves transparency and helps reduce the risk of disputes later in the process.
Queensland also makes strong use of digital conveyancing platforms like PEXA, enabling settlements to be completed securely online, with funds and documents transferred efficiently.
Overall, conveyancing in Southport and the Gold Coast area is designed for both efficiency and protection, but the process can be complex. Professional legal guidance ensures compliance, prevents delays, and helps avoid costly mistakes.
Do I need a solicitor for conveyancing?
Short answer: no. A licensed conveyancer can manage the entire property transaction, provided they operate under a qualified legal firm. Conveyancers specialise in the legal and administrative tasks involved in buying or selling property, such as preparing and reviewing contracts, conducting searches, coordinating with banks, and lodging documents with the Titles Registry.
A solicitor, on the other hand, is a fully qualified lawyer who can provide broader legal advice and handle more complex legal matters that may arise during a property transaction. In some cases, conveyancers may consult or refer clients to a solicitor for issues such as complex commercial contracts, off-the-plan agreements, or disputes.
At Bush to Beach Legal, we have both licensed conveyancers and solicitors on our team. This means we can handle straightforward residential sales, as well as more complex property transactions, providing seamless, expert guidance every step of the way.
