Buying or selling property after 1 July? Here’s what you need to know ⬇️
New Anti-Money Laundering (AML) laws come into effect from 1 July 2026, bringing some important changes to the way property transactions are conducted across Australia.
Real estate agencies will be required to carry out identity verification and additional due diligence checks on buyers and sellers. This may include confirming your identity, verifying ownership structures for companies and trusts, and in some cases requesting information about the source of funds used to purchase a property.
While there may be a few extra steps involved, these reforms are designed to increase transparency, strengthen security and help protect the integrity of Australia’s property market.
As the industry adapts to these changes, our team is committed to making the process as smooth and straightforward as possible. If you’re thinking about buying, selling or simply want to understand what these new requirements mean for you, we’re here to help.
