πImportant Update for Buyers & Sellers - New AML/CTF Requirements from 1 July 2026
At Harcourts Inspire, we're committed to providing a secure, transparent and professional experience for every client.
From 1 July 2026, new Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) legislation comes into effect for the Australian real estate industry.
As part of these new legal requirements, real estate agencies need to verify the identity of sellers and buyers and complete customer due diligence during the property sale / purchase process.
If you're buying or selling with Harcourts Inspire, you may be asked to provide identification documents or other supporting information. Our team will guide you through each step, making the process as simple and seamless as possible.
Completing any requested verification promptly will help ensure your transaction progresses without unnecessary delays.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we implement these important legislative changes, helping to ensure property transactions remain safe, secure and compliant for everyone.
If you have any questions about what these changes mean for you, please don't hesitate to get in touch with our team. We're here to help.
