10 Things to Check


Before You Sign, Check These 10 Things First

A free, no-nonsense checklist from someone who’s spent 30 years inside the land sales industry — so you know exactly what to ask before you commit to a block.

Buying land isn’t like buying a house. Titles, stages, estimated registration dates, and fine print can catch even careful buyers off guard. This checklist covers the 10 questions I’d want answered myself before signing — including what’s changed under Australia’s new Tranche 2 AML/CTF rules from July 2026.

What’s inside

  • The difference between titled and untitled land — and why it changes your finance timeline
  • What “estimated registration date” actually means (and how firm it really is)
  • Questions to ask about identity/AML checks under the new July 2026 rules
  • Hidden costs that don’t show up in the advertised price
  • What to check in the contract before you pay a deposit

Processing…
