In short:

Real estate agents say new seller disclosure laws are "bottlenecking" property sales due to lengthy turnaround times on required documentation.

The laws allow buyers to get their entire deposit back, and even claim compensation, if the vendor fails to offer up vital information.

Antonia Mercorella from the Real Estate Institute of Queensland says the laws have created "nervousness" about last-second contract cancellations.
