What's In The Pack
Everything an investigation
goes looking for.
Scope follows the property, so no two cases order exactly the same list. This is what an investigation can cover, and what each search is there to answer.
- 01
Title Search
Current ownership, registered interests and encumbrances recorded on the lot.
- 02
Council Search
Notices, orders and building approvals held by the local council.
- 03
Flood Overlay
Flood overlay information drawn from the council planning scheme.
- 04
Easements
Registered easements and rights of way affecting the land.
- 05
Body Corporate
The body corporate certificate for a lot in a community titles scheme.
- 06
QBCC Register
Building notices and orders recorded against the property.
- 07
Rates Notice
Current rates and water charges for the property.
- 08
Statutory Encumbrances
Interests over the land a buyer is entitled to be told about.
- 09
Survey Plan
The registered plan showing boundaries and lot details.
- 10
Pool Compliance
The pool safety certificate, or the correct notice where none exists.
All of it compiled, not just collected.
Results are read by a disclosure specialist, then assembled into the Form 2 Seller Disclosure Statement and its prescribed certificates as one ordered file. Tenancy details are included where the property is sold with a tenancy in place, and the finished pack arrives ready for review and electronic signing.
The Investigation Lifecycle
From one address
to case closed.
Every case runs the same five stages, in the same order, whether the property is a freestanding house or a unit in a community titles scheme. That is what makes the answer to "where is it up to?" a glance rather than a phone call.
-
Stage 01
Intake opens the case
Enter the property address and confirm the lot and plan. A short set of questions, community titles, pool, tenancy, vacant possession, locks the scope before anything is ordered.
-
Stage 02
Searches go out
Every search the property needs is ordered from the relevant registries and authorities at once, so the slowest search sets the timeline rather than the whole queue.
-
Stage 03
Real people read the results
A disclosure specialist reviews each result as it lands, looking for the encumbrances, notices and mismatches that could cause problems later. Anything unusual is raised with you before the pack is finalised.
-
Stage 04
The pack comes together
The statement and its prescribed certificates are compiled into one ordered pack, then checked for currency and completeness so every answer matches the evidence behind it.
-
Stage 05
Case closed
The finished pack arrives ready for review and electronic signing, with the case history behind it. No loose files to collate and no missing certificate to chase.

Disclosure, Explained
The questions agents
ask us first.
It is the standard disclosure document introduced under the Property Law Act 2023 (Qld). Since 1 August 2025, a Queensland seller has been required to give the buyer a Form 2, with the prescribed certificates attached, before the buyer signs the contract. Think of the Form 2 as the central document in the disclosure pack, with the prescribed certificates and documents providing the supporting evidence behind it.
Before the buyer signs the contract. Not at signing, and not shortly afterwards. The practical rule for agents is simple: no disclosure pack, no signing. That is why the searches are best ordered during the listing phase rather than the week you expect an offer.
Where required disclosure was not given, or a material matter was misstated, the buyer may have a right to terminate the contract at any time before settlement. Most incomplete packs do not end in termination, they end in delay, but both land on the seller first and on the campaign shortly after.
No. Scope follows the property. A lot in a community titles scheme needs a body corporate certificate, a property with a pool needs the safety certificate or the correct notice, and a tenanted property needs its tenancy details. The intake questions set the scope for your specific property before anything is ordered.
Different sources move at different speeds. A title search can come back quickly, while a body corporate certificate depends on the body corporate manager and has its own timeframe. Survey Ferret works to a target turnaround of 24 to 48 hours where the searches allow, and releases each result as it clears rather than holding everything for a weekly batch.
The seller gives and signs the statement, and the statutory obligation sits with them, not the agency. In practice the agent usually controls the timeline and coordinates the searches, which is exactly the part Survey Ferret takes over.
