Address in, facts out

Type the address. Read what comes back.

A cottage with a red front door and a picket fence
What’s the address?

  1. Type the address

    From a listing, a sign or a link someone sent. Pick a property, not a suburb.

  2. We read the records

    About a minute: flood, bushfire, flight paths, school zones and planning.

  3. Read the facts

    What’s on record, line by line, and when we checked.

  4. Walk in ready

    Spend your 30 minutes inside on the questions it gave you.

How to read a line

Red only ever means serious. Everything else stays black and white.

Serious
Could change your offer. Read it before you bid.
Worth asking
On record and worth a question. Most have a simple answer.
None on record
Nothing on the map we read. That isn’t the same as safe.
Not covered
We don’t have this record yet. The agent or the council can tell you.

Ten things on record.

What a check reads, and what to do with each answer.

  • Flood

    Free check

    If it comes back as Worth asking, ask the agent for the flood level certificate and get an insurance quote before you bid.

  • Bushfire

    Free check

    Inside one, building and renovating follow extra rules. Ask your insurer and your builder what that means for this block.

  • Flight paths

    Free check

    Stand in the backyard on a weekday morning. Ten minutes will tell you more than the brochure.

  • School zones

    Free check

    The zone can stop one street over. Confirm it with the school before you rely on it.

  • Zoning and applications

    Free check

    Read the applications before the open home. The view is only yours if the planning rules say so.

  • Aspect

    Free check

    Mum will ask if it faces north. Now you’ll know before she does.

  • Commute

    Full report

    Add work, your parents' place and wherever you go each week. Then compare properties on minutes, not kilometres.

  • Comparable sales

    Full report

    Walk into the auction with your own number, not the price guide.

  • True costs

    Full report

    Compare properties on the monthly figure. The price is only the first number.

  • NBN

    Full report

    Worth knowing before the first work-from-home Monday.

Your match score, in the full report.

The full report scores each property against what your household asked for. You set the weights.

  • Budget
  • Location
  • The property itself
  • Schools
  • Commute
  • Risks
  • What’s nearby
  • Planning

The score sorts the shortlist. You make the call.

It is a reading of public records against what you told us. It is not a valuation and it can't smell the damp. Use it to decide which properties are worth a visit.
