Know Who You Are Dealing With, Not Just On Day One
Sales and leasing often involve companies and trusts rather than individuals, and the entity you checked at listing or lease signing can change before settlement or well into a tenancy. MonitorHQ monitors the vendor, purchaser and tenant entities on your books and alerts you to ASIC and ABN changes quickly. The Tranche 2 reforms extend AML/CTF obligations to real estate professionals, and a dated record of entity changes helps support that work.
What Goes Unnoticed
The changes nobody tells you about
Purchaser company changes pre-settlement
The directors or registered office of a company purchaser change after contract. The party you identified is no longer the party in control.
Tenant ABN cancelled while in occupation
A commercial tenant's ABN is cancelled but they stay in the premises. It can be an early sign the business is winding down.
Vendor entity status changes
A company or trustee vendor is deregistered, or its officeholders change, partway through a campaign. Authority to sell may need to be re-confirmed.
Trading names lapse on leases
The business name on a commercial lease is no longer registered to the tenant. Notices and signage then refer to a name the tenant does not hold.
How It Fits Your Work
One profile per entity, watched continuously
ABN, ACN and business name monitoring in one place, plus PPSR for ACN, ARBN and ARSN-registered entities
Add parties at listing or lease
Create a profile for each vendor, purchaser or tenant entity when you take the instruction, or bulk import a whole rent roll.
Alerts to the right agent
Team seats let the listing agent or property manager responsible for a property see its change alerts by email.
A record for the file
Every change is logged with old and new values and a date. On the Practice plan you can export ongoing CDD triggers to support your own AML/CTF process.

Questions Real Estate Agents Ask
Straight answers
Is it worth it for residential agencies?
It is most useful where the parties are companies or trusts, which is common in commercial and investment sales and leasing. Individuals are not registered entities, so there is nothing to monitor unless they hold an ABN.
How is this different from checking ABN Lookup myself?
A manual check is a snapshot on the day you look. MonitorHQ checks on a schedule and tells you what changed since the last check.
Does PPSR monitoring apply to every party?
No. PPSR security-interest monitoring only applies to ACN, ARBN and ARSN-registered entities. ABN and business-name monitoring apply more broadly.
Does it cover our AML/CTF obligations?
No. The Tranche 2 reforms extend AML/CTF obligations, including ongoing customer due diligence, to certain services provided by real estate professionals. MonitorHQ surfaces entity changes that may prompt a review, but your program remains yours.
