Real estate institute says there are no laws covering the subject and encourages people to research before buyingBrisbane's flood maps have not been updated since latest events, house hunters urged to ask around

"The devastation in seeing it first hand … it basically broke them. They were honestly just shell shocked." "Buyers need to understand it's now less about buying in a flood zone, and more about building flood-resilient homes." "There's a responsibility for sellers and for landlords to be notifying people if a property has flooded so that people don't have to go through this again.Agents not required to inform potential buyers
