Selling Your Property: Disclosure Guide

If you're selling property, vendor disclosure laws vary by state. Queensland's Section 34A now requires sellers to disclose flood, bushfire, and landslip hazards. New South Wales requires Section 52 contract disclosure, and Victoria mandates a Section 32 Vendor Statement.

Climate Risk & Home Loans

Australian lenders are increasingly considering climate risk when assessing home loan applications. APRA's guidance (CPG 229) requires banks to incorporate climate risk into their lending frameworks, which can affect borrowing capacity and loan terms in higher-risk areas.
