What was once “buyer beware” is now “seller disclose” — and the responsibility to present a property’s full story is now on the homeowner’s shoulders.
The New Compliance Landscape
From August 1, 2025, sellers must disclose detailed information before a buyer signs a contract. This includes:
- Title and ownership details
- Renovations
- Known defects
- Compliance certificates (e.g., smoke alarms, pools)
Missing or inaccurate disclosures may void contracts. Agents and sellers alike will need reliable systems to manage and share this information.
Know Your Home: A Tool for Compliance and Confidence
Know Your Home simplifies disclosure by storing and organising every piece of essential property information in one place. More than that, it makes sharing it as simple as scanning a QR code.
Sellers Can:
- Upload and manage required documents
- Categorise by room, system, or feature
- Share disclosures digitally with buyers or agents
