One for the diary if you own an investment property: 1 July 2027.

That’s when the negative gearing and capital gains tax changes take effect. There’s a part in there most investors haven’t picked up on yet, and it’s the part that matters most.

Negative gearing. If you acquired a residential investment property after Budget night — 12 May 2026 — rental losses can no longer be offset against your other income from 1 July 2027. Instead, those losses are quarantined and carried forward against future rental income and property gains. Held before Budget night? Existing arrangements are grandfathered, and new builds are exempt.

Capital gains tax. For gains accruing from 1 July 2027, the 50% CGT discount is replaced. In its place: cost base indexation, so only the real gain above inflation is taxed, together with a 30% minimum tax rate on the gain.

Here’s the part that matters. The market value at 1 July 2027 becomes the dividing point. Gains accrued up to that date remain subject to the existing rules. Gains accruing after that date fall under the new arrangements.

Which is why the market value at that date carries real weight — it determines where the pre-2027 gain ends and the post-2027 gain begins.

You have about ten months. If you’re considering maintenance, cosmetic improvements or refurbishment before 1 July 2027, their impact on the property’s market value at that date may become relevant.

Where we come in: an independent market valuation as at 1 July 2027 can provide a documented market value at the date the CGT treatment changes. That may be considerably easier than trying to establish the property’s historical value years later.

Speak with your accountant about how the changes apply to your circumstances.

Great to get this one secured for our clients and see the smiles on settlement day. Congratulations on the new home, an exciting new chapter ahead! 🔑

While the market may have eased slightly in recent months and buyers have a few more options, finding the right property is only half the battle. Having an experienced negotiator on your side can make all the difference when it comes to securing the right property, at the right price and on the right terms.

Just Purchased ~ Burleigh Waters

Local investors engaged us to secure an investment property to hold within their Self Managed Super Fund. The brief was clear: low maintenance, a solid rental return, and strong long-term capital growth potential.

After reviewing a number of opportunities, we secured a property that represented excellent value when assessed against recent comparable sales and current market conditions. It was a purchase we were confident stacked up from both an investment and valuation perspective.

That's where having an experienced buyer's agent makes a real difference. Anyone can buy a property, but buying well is what creates value. Understanding the market, analysing the sales evidence and negotiating with confidence helps ensure you're paying the right price—not simply the asking price.

A great outcome for our clients and another quality investment added to their portfolio.

Thinking about buying an investment property and want confidence you're paying the right price? We'd love to help!

Big thanks to on the sale side!

New financial year, new market — here's where the Gold Coast actually sits.

Rates have ticked up again, the Budget has rattled investor and overall buyer confidence, there are new limits and restrictions on SMSF borrowing, and buyer sentiment has cooled. Put it together and activity has eased.

But here's the part most people miss: that's exactly when opportunity shows up. There's less competition than there was 3–6 months ago, more room to negotiate, and genuine value back on the table for buyers willing to move.

The media is calling it catastrophic. The honest answer is no one knows precisely where it lands. But it's worth remembering the same outlets called a “crash” during the GFC, and again through COVID. Every down cycle we've seen has been relatively sharp — then followed by sustained growth.

Given the lifestyle on offer and the constant demand across the board, it's hard to see how the Coast doesn't recover quickly and keep outperforming most Australian cities.

If you've been waiting for a window, this might be it. Want to know what's genuinely good value right now? Get in touch.

Feature Property — Hope Island

Every now and then a home comes along that's worth pausing on. “Solaris” on Cressbrook Drive is one of them.

A luxury, custom built home on the Coomera River. A 1,000m² allotment, high end home built across three levels linked by a lift, a chef's kitchen, a magnesium pool and spa, a sunken firepit, a pontoon on deep water and a basement built for ten cars.

We're not involved in the transaction of this one - we just appreciate great design when we see it, and it's a good reminder of the calibre of home the northern Gold Coast is now producing.

Anti-Money Laundering & Counter-Terrorism Financing Laws Explained

The property industry has just changed — here's what the new AML laws actually mean.

First, what is it? AML/CTF stands for Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing — the rules designed to stop criminal money moving through the economy. Banks have followed them for years. From 1 July 2026, they now extend to property (the “Tranche 2” reforms).

Who it affects: buyer's agents, real estate agents, conveyancers, lawyers and accountants — essentially anyone helping you buy or sell.

Why: to help prevent money laundering through property, disrupt financial crime, and bring Australia in line with international standards.

What it means for you: the big one is mandatory identity verification — often called “Know Your Customer,” or KYC. You'll be asked to verify your identity through the buying process (not just once), and in some cases to show where your funds have come from. If you've opened a bank account, it'll feel familiar — quick, and usually one-off.

Nothing here is cause for concern. It's the law, every reputable professional has to do it, and having your ID ready simply keeps things moving.

At LMD, we're already set up for it — so it's one less thing for you to think about.

⚫ JUST PURCHASED ⚫

We've been a little quiet on social media lately… but behind the scenes, we've been busy helping clients secure their dream properties.

This one was particularly special.

We were engaged by a Victorian family looking to relocate to the Gold Coast, with a brief to secure a modern waterfront home that suited their lifestyle and long-term plans. Thankfully, this property ticked all the boxes.

Buying interstate can be daunting. You're often making one of the biggest financial decisions of your life in a market you don't know, and sometimes without being able to attend inspections yourself.

That's where having someone local in your corner makes all the difference, inspecting properties, assessing value, providing honest advice and negotiating on the ground so you're not making decisions blindly from a thousand kilometres away.

A big thank you to Gemma and the team at the Professionals for your assistance on the selling side!

Thinking about making the move to the Gold Coast or purchasing your next property here? We'd love to help.

Inflation and rising rates aren’t just numbers. They affect how much you can borrow, your repayments, and what you can afford.

With the RBA likely to lift rates and fixed home loan rates already climbing, borrowing costs may go up, which could reduce your budget for a home. At the same time, inflation is outpacing wages, and housing and electricity costs are rising, making it harder to stretch your dollar.

In a challenging market like this, having LMD, a buyer’s agent, on your side gives you a competitive edge.

We help buyers:
⚫ Navigate rising costs without overpaying
⚫ Find homes that fit your budget
⚫ Make smart decisions about timing and strategy

Don’t let rates and rising costs catch you off guard. Let LMD help you buy smarter and secure the best deal.
