Compliance flags
  • Residential SMSF property must be at arm's length — no member or related-party use, ever.
  • Property must be held under a bare trust + LRBA structure — set up before contracting.
  • Single Acquirable Asset rule: the property must be one identifiable asset (no off-the-plan separate-titled subdivisions).
