When I sell should I get a building and pest inspection or do the buyers do that?
There is no legal obligation for the sellers to provide a building and pest inspection report for selling real estate in Queensland. Providing a building and pest inspection can attract more buyers and potentially lead to a faster sale Over the last few years it has become standard practice to provide buyers with one if you have chosen to take your property to AUCTION.
Understanding Building and Pest Inspections in Queensland
To understand building and pest inspections in Queensland, here are some key points:
Purpose: These inspections assess the condition of a property, identifying any structural issues, pest infestations, or other concerns that could affect its value or safety.
Legislation: Inspections must comply with the Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC) regulations.
Qualified Inspectors: Inspectors should be licensed and experienced. They often have backgrounds in building or pest control.
Report Details: The inspection report typically includes photographs, descriptions of issues, and recommendations for repairs or further investigation.
Timing: Inspections are usually conducted before purchasing a property, often as a condition of sale.
Cost: Prices can vary based on the property size and inspection complexity. It's important to compare services and choose a reputable provider.

Do I need to sign a Form 6 with a real estate agent to have them sell my property?
In Queensland, property agents must be appointed in writing via a PO Form 6 (Appointment to Act) before they can provide any auctioneer or real estate services to a client for reward. The PO Form 6 is a contract between the agent and the client, which sets out the rights and obligations of both parties. Form Number 6 (version 5) is used for requesting a decision by default in minor civil disputes and minor debts in Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal.

Have you heard people talk about an off-market listing and wondered what they meant?
An off-market sale is a term used to define a property that is selling, or has already been sold, without any public advertising.
It’s a term that sometime pops up in property conversations and is usually linked to a property that needs an immediate sale, where the sale is often more important than the sold price.
So what is it and is it actually worth it?
Selling your property off market is not an ideal way to achieve the maximum price – it’s often a last-minute choice.
Off market means the home can be bought if its owner is presented with an acceptable offer but has decided not to promote the fact. An off-market sale is a faster sale, but not always the best outcome.
Cameron Patterson, Founder of InReach Investments says these transactions are common if a vendor needs an immediate sale.
Darren Dean, Owner and Managing Director of Sweeney Real Estate’s Yarraville and Footscray offices in Melbourne, says the anonymity of selling your home off market is often attractive to anyone with a high profile.
Vendors with tricky families or neighbours sometimes see value in keeping the home’s sale out of the public eye.
“Those in need of a quick sale are commonly relationship/marriage breakdowns, financial reasons, deceased estates or the vendor maybe going through employment changes,” Patterson explains.
“Regardless of their reason they all have one thing in common: they need the sale to take place urgently to allow them to get on with other higher priority issues in their lives.”
What are the advantages of an off-market sale?
To the buyer:
A bargain price. There is often little, if any, competition, – you may find you are the only buyer who knows about the silent listing and this exclusivity can mean buying for a lower price than on the open market.
More likely the vendor will accept your offer – “If the initially submitted offer is below market value and the vendor is in a distressed position, which is often the case, there is greater potential for the deal to be accepted,” Patterson says.
To the vendor:
A quick sale – if priced keenly.
Usually sold with more terms and conditions. When a vendor wants a low-key sale, the quickie sale is often subject to more conditions including shorter settlement periods, bigger deposits, or inclusive of any building faults, Patterson says.
What are the disadvantages of an off-market sale?
To the buyer:
You still have to find a property that meets all of your criteria – location, features, condition and price – so there may be more footwork
It’s all about who you know and it takes time to build those insider relationships
No marketing materials means you cannot build a visual file of ‘possible’ off market investments
To the vendor:
High possibility you will get a lower price than if you advertised your property
No chance to go to auction or leverage the enormous passive market of online viewers who regularly surf for investment or owner-occupied properties, Dean says.
You may come out behind. “It is horses for courses, but the reality is many vendors think they will save a few coins avoiding advertising costs when listing off market but actually cost themselves 10s of 1000s because off market won’t create the competition of a marketed sale,” Dean says.
