Underquoting law change in Queensland

New laws have been passed in Queensland.  The main changes include:
  • Removing the use of price guides at auction
  • Removing the requirement for agents to disclose commission arrangements with a buyer
  • Extending the statutory limit on lengths of appointments for a sole or exclusive agency from 60 days to 90 days
  • Deregulating the maximum commissions rates to allow contractual freedom 
  • Abolishment of a separate Warning Statement. Instead this will be included in the relevant contract
  • Stricter disclosure of third-party benefits to buyers
