Selling your home or investment property? Queensland law requires compliant smoke alarms before the contract of sale is signed. Don't risk a penalty at settlement — we provide fast-turnaround installations with the smoke alarm reports your conveyancer needs.
Since January 2022, all homes being sold in Queensland must have fully compliant interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms installed before the contract of sale is signed.
The seller must declare on a Form 24 that the property meets all smoke alarm legislative requirements. This declaration is lodged with the Queensland Land Registry as part of the transfer process.
If the seller fails to comply, the buyer can claim an adjustment at settlement equal to 0.15% of the purchase price. On a $750,000 property, that's $1,125. On a $1,000,000 property, it's $1,500. Far more expensive than simply getting compliant before listing.
We understand the urgency of property sales. Most installations are completed within days of booking, not weeks.
We provide the smoke alarm reports your conveyancer needs for the Form 24 declaration.
We coordinate directly with your agent or conveyancer to ensure a smooth process before settlement.
If your existing alarms are already compliant, we'll tell you — we won't replace what doesn't need replacing.
