Chengdu investor preparation
QHITPA provides paid administrative coordination and application-preparation support for Chengdu-based individuals, families, companies and advisers considering Australian residential land, new dwellings, development, commercial property or connected investment matters.
Start your Chengdu enquiry
A concise first brief helps QHITPA identify whether the Chengdu enquiry concerns residential land, a new dwelling, development, commercial land or a broader business transaction.
About Chengdu investor enquiries
Chengdu is a major western China business, technology, finance and consumer-market centre serving a broad regional economy.
Chengdu investors may explore Australian property for diversification, family use, education, development or business expansion and benefit from a clear pre-contract approval plan.
Chengdu clients may be balancing investment diversification, education and future family use. The application brief should distinguish the immediate transaction purpose from longer-term personal plans so the current proposal remains clear.

The same Chengdu investor may have several objectives, but each Australian asset must be classified and documented on its own facts.
Chengdu-based investors considering a new apartment or house should confirm that the property is genuinely a new dwelling, identify the purchaser and record whether the asset is for investment, future family use or another stated purpose.
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.
Before reserving or contracting a new dwelling, the investor should obtain reliable property details, confirm the purchaser and ensure any contract conditions properly address foreign investment approval and timing.
Application readiness
Organising these points early helps the Chengdu client, QHITPA and independent advisers avoid inconsistent documents and preventable delays.
Explain whether the property is for investment, development, family occupation, business operations, staff use or another purpose.
Confirm whether the buyer will be an individual, company, trust or another entity, using names that match the proposed contract and identification records.
Share the intended contract and settlement dates early. Government processing, information requests and professional review must be allowed for.
Key identity, company, ownership and transaction documents may need accurate English translations for Australian advisers and application preparation.
QHITPA coordination pathway
QHITPA acts as a paid coordination point for Chengdu 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 Chengdu. 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.
