One of the most significant upcoming changes is the expansion of AML property law in Australia, which will apply to property transactions from July 2026.
These reforms will require:
- Verification of source of funds
- Increased documentation and compliance checks
- Greater transparency across all parties involved in a transaction
While this may slow down the property settlement process in Australia, it will also strengthen the integrity of the market and reduce the risk of fraudulent activity.
For investors, this reinforces the importance of working with experienced legal advisers who understand evolving regulatory requirements. Watch our legal episode here:
