Frequent Risk Signals

• No automatic exit right: Under a standard REIQ contract, discovering a property is in a flood zone after you sign does not give you a legal right to terminate, meaning you could lose your entire deposit (often up to 10% of the purchase price) if you refuse to settle.
• Immediate risk transfer: In Queensland, the property is at the buyer's risk from 5:00 pm on the first business day after the contract date; if a flood severely damages the home before settlement, you are generally still legally required to pay the full purchase price.
• Exorbitant insurance costs: Properties mapped in high-risk council flood overlays can attract annual home and contents insurance premiums exceeding $10,000 to $15,000, and some insurers may flatly refuse to offer flood cover at all.
• Lack of seller disclosure: Queensland law does not strictly require a seller to volunteer a property's past flood history or council flood mapping status; the legal burden of caveat emptor (buyer beware) means the buyer's risk is absolute unless a special condition is added.
• Strict search timeframes: If you do negotiate a special condition for a flood search, you typically only have 14 to 21 days from the contract date to conduct council searches and terminate if the results are unacceptable.
• Severe development restrictions: Local council regulations (such as the Brisbane City Council Flood Overlay) dictate minimum habitable floor levels, which can legally prevent you from building underneath an existing house, adding extensions, or subdividing the land.
