Why this matters

Most interstate buyers are flying blind in the Brisbane market.

Brisbane operates differently to every other state. The contracts are different, the flood risk is real, the suburb pockets vary enormously, and what looks great on Realestate.com can be a very different story on the ground.

Without the right due diligence, you can easily overpay, miss critical defects, or end up in the wrong suburb for your goals. This checklist is built from what I see go wrong with interstate buyers every week - and almost all of it is avoidable.

This isn't about alarm. It's about making a well-informed decision before you commit to one of the biggest purchases of your life.
