The $0 FIRB Threshold: What Overseas Property Buyers Consistently Miss About Australian Real Estate

Do you think the standard commercial multi-million dollar property screening limits apply to all Australian real estate? Think again!

In Australia, the Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) enforces a strict zero-dollar screening threshold for residential land. Whether you are an international enterprise buying a small apartment for executive housing or an HNWI securing an estate, you legally require prior government approval before executing a contract.

Failing to secure proper clearance prior to signing can result in severe civil penalties and forced divestment.

Before exchanging binding contracts, make sure your acquisition pipeline is protected.
