Frequent Risk Signals

• Resumption of land: The government holds statutory powers to forcibly acquire (resume) part or all of your property for major state works like the Cross River Rail or Bruce Highway upgrades, permanently reducing your land size and property value.
• Strict termination timeframes: Under standard REIQ terms, if you discover an undisclosed transport infrastructure proposal, you must terminate the contract in writing before settlement; otherwise, you lose your right to cancel and must accept the property as-is.
• Hidden underground easements: Government transport plans often include subterranean easements for tunnels, which legally restrict your future ability to dig swimming pools, build deep foundations, or subdivide the block.
• Plummeting property valuation: A property suddenly earmarked for a new transport corridor often suffers an immediate drop in market value, which can trigger your bank to withdraw your home loan approval, leaving you unable to settle and placing your 5% to 10% deposit at immense buyer's risk.
• Noise and vibration issues: Even if your physical land isn't resumed, nearby underground tunnelling or surface transport corridors can cause significant noise, dust, and structural vibrations that ruin your quiet enjoyment of the home.
• Costly compensation battles: While Queensland law allows for financial compensation during land resumption, the legal and valuation dispute is often expensive, time-consuming, and rarely covers the true market premium or the emotional distress of losing your home.
