Key takeaways: 

1. There’s always been a way to conceal the identities of the buyer and sell and that's through companies and trusts. “What I've worked out - at least with the New South Wales Land Registry - is how to conceal the price." - Jared Zak
   
   
2. New regulations in Queensland will impose significant liability on whoever drafts property contracts. This means buyers will potentially be able to rescind right up until settlement.
   
   
3. Victoria's new stamp duty concession is not just for first-time homebuyers, it's for everyone, including investors regardless of sale price.
   
   
4. From 2025, the New South Wales Government will ban no-fault termination of residential leases. This is in line with other states' trends, putting more pressure on landlords.
