Local rules: agents, licences and planning

Anyone who sells property through an agent needs a real estate agent licence, and the rules differ by state. New South Wales and Western Australia each run their own licensing, and Queensland charges an application fee of A$199 that is included in the licence fee. Planning fees for townhouse projects typically rise with the cost of works and often start from about A$3,000. Ask the seller whether they are a licensed agent or a private owner, and whether there are approvals for a second dwelling.

Plot size for a duplex

Councils generally want 600 to 800 square metres of land for a duplex, with a frontage of 15 to 20 metres. Check the plot size and width in metres before you assume a block can be split, and ask for the zoning on the title. A floor area in square metres is the usual way to describe the home, so ask for that as well.

Season and how the price is set

November is late spring, and December to February is summer, when holiday plans can slow down property viewings. Listings state how the price is set: a price guide, a fixed price, or "offers over" a figure. The wording changes how you can make an offer, so read it carefully. Ask about settlement timing, deposit and finance approval before you make an offer, because the payment method decides which listings are realistic for you.
