Selling Your Property? Compliance Comes First.

Since 1 January 2022, every Queensland property must comply with the latest smoke alarm standards. For sellers this means, prior to a contract of sale, your property must:

  • Have photoelectric smoke alarms (no ionisation)
  • Be interconnected throughout the property
  • Include alarms in each bedroom, hallway, and every level
  • Be hardwired or fitted with a sealed 10-year battery

Failing to comply can delay settlement and may result in a 0.15% purchase price penalty.

Outdated Smoke Alarms Could Put Your Sale at Risk.

Myth 1: “My smoke alarms still work, so I’m covered.”

Fact:Fact: Working alarms may still be non-compliant. Only photoelectric, interconnected alarms meet the current legal standard.

Myth 2: “Can the new owner just make alarms compliant?”

Fact:Seller compliance is already mandatory. Waiting could delay your sale or risk settlement penalties.

Myth 3: “The buyer can take care of the upgrades.”

Fact: The seller is responsible for compliance before the contract of sale is signed. Non-compliance can delay settlement and trigger penalties of 0.15% of the purchase price.

Still Have Questions About Alarms?

Yes. By law, your property must have photoelectric, interconnected alarms installed before a contract of sale is signed.

They may not meet the new standard. Working alarms that have ionisation technology or are not interconnected are non-compliant.

You risk settlement delays and potential penalties of 0.15% of the purchase price.

DIY installations can fail compliance checks due to the complexities surrounding the legislation. We recommend professional installation to ensure accuracy and certification.
