Beijing investor coordination
QHITPA provides paid administrative coordination and application-preparation support for Beijing-based individuals, families, companies and advisers considering Australian residential land, new dwellings, development, commercial property or connected investment matters.
Start your Beijing enquiry
A concise first brief helps QHITPA identify whether the Beijing enquiry concerns residential land, a new dwelling, development, commercial land or a broader business transaction.
About Beijing investor enquiries
Beijing is China’s national capital and a major centre for government, corporate headquarters, research, education and professional services.
Beijing investors may approach Australian property through family, education, institutional, corporate or long-term wealth-planning objectives that require careful ownership and approval planning.
Beijing enquiries can involve family members, companies, trusts or institutional stakeholders. QHITPA first clarifies who will hold the Australian asset and whether any related parties, advisers or financing arrangements must be disclosed consistently.

The same Beijing investor may have several objectives, but each Australian asset must be classified and documented on its own facts.
Family or education objectives do not automatically determine the approval outcome. The proposed resident, purchaser, property status and timing should be documented clearly, with migration questions referred to a suitably qualified professional.
If spouses, relatives, business partners, companies or trusts may acquire the property together, the ownership percentages and role of each party should be settled before the application and contract documents are finalised.
Where a company is considering commercial land, offices or premises, QHITPA separates the property acquisition from any business acquisition and records the entity, ownership chain, asset value and intended operating use.
Application readiness
Organising these points early helps the Beijing client, QHITPA and independent advisers avoid inconsistent documents and preventable delays.
Identify spouses, relatives, business partners, companies, trusts, lenders and advisers connected with the proposed acquisition.
Prepare a simple ownership chart showing shareholders, controllers, trustees and ultimate beneficial owners where an entity is involved.
Explain whether the property is for investment, development, family occupation, business operations, staff use or another purpose.
Identify the solicitor, accountant, financier, property adviser and any qualified migration professional so responsibilities are clear.
QHITPA coordination pathway
QHITPA acts as a paid coordination point for Beijing enquiries. It does not issue approval or replace Australian legal, tax, finance, property or migration professionals.
Record the investor, purchaser, ownership chain, asset, value, intended use and deadlines in one working brief.
Identify identity, company, ownership, funding, property and contract documents and note any translation requirements.
Connect the client with suitable Australian legal, tax, finance, property and migration professionals where relevant.
Support application readiness, responses to information requests, understanding of conditions and practical next actions.
Current policy context
The rules do not change because an applicant lives in Beijing. The outcome depends on foreign-person status, purchaser structure, property category, value and current Australian law and policy.
Foreign persons generally need approval before acquiring an interest in Australian residential land, regardless of value.
From 1 April 2025 to 30 June 2029, foreign investors are generally prohibited from purchasing established dwellings, subject to limited exceptions.
Commercial land, agricultural land and business acquisitions can involve separate thresholds and notification requirements.

Frequently asked questions
Family or education circumstances may be relevant background but do not by themselves remove foreign investment requirements. Property type, purchaser status and the current policy remain important.
Joint ownership may be possible, but each person or entity, ownership percentage, funding source and relationship should be recorded consistently in the application and contract documents.
A company may be able to acquire certain Australian assets, but its foreign status, controllers, beneficial owners, asset category and transaction value must be reviewed before an application pathway is selected.
Timing varies with the transaction, application type, completeness and any information requests. Investors should start before signing or committing to a fixed settlement timetable.
Provide the proposed purchaser, property type, Australian location, value and timing.
