Key takeaways:
- There’s always been a way to conceal the identities of the buyer and sell and that's through companies and trusts. “What I've worked out - at least with the New South Wales Land Registry - is how to conceal the price." - Jared Zak
- New regulations in Queensland will impose significant liability on whoever drafts property contracts. This means buyers will potentially be able to rescind right up until settlement.
- Victoria's new stamp duty concession is not just for first-time homebuyers, it's for everyone, including investors regardless of sale price.
- From 2025, the New South Wales Government will ban no-fault termination of residential leases. This is in line with other states' trends, putting more pressure on landlords.
