Before you commit to a property, know what you're really choosing.
A listing can show you the home. PropertyCheck helps you understand the street, neighbours, access, everyday life and issues around the address before you rent or buy.
Why check a property that already looks good in the listing?
Listings and inspections mostly show you the property itself. PropertyCheck looks beyond it — at neighbouring buildings, roads, access, transport, planning, hazards and other factors that may affect everyday life.
What could PropertyCheck show me that a listing usually doesn't?
Depending on the data available for the address, it can show property and building context, neighbouring buildings, street, access and parking context, transport, school catchments, nearby places, environmental overlays, planning information and other location factors.
Can't I just find all of this myself?
Often, yes. The information may be spread across council maps, transport systems, government data, planning tools and other sources. PropertyCheck brings relevant findings together around one address, with sources and data dates, so you can spend less time searching and more time deciding what matters.
How much does it cost?
One PropertyCheck is A$17.95 including GST. One-off purchase. No subscription.
Can I see a sample report first?
Yes. View the sample report — a real PropertyCheck report for Q1, 9 Hamilton Avenue, Surfers Paradise. It is a saved example, not a live lookup.
What happens if something can't be confirmed?
We tell you. If the available data cannot verify something, PropertyCheck shows the limitation rather than guessing. We do not treat missing data as zero or assume an answer.
Where does the information come from, and how current is it?
PropertyCheck uses government, public and licensed data sources. Where applicable, findings include their source and data date, so you can see where the information came from and how current it is.
Does PropertyCheck tell me whether I should rent or buy?
No. It helps you identify things worth investigating, comparing or asking about. The final decision is yours.
Does it replace an inspection, conveyancer or professional advice?
No. PropertyCheck is designed to help you arrive better informed and know what questions to ask. Important matters should still be confirmed with the appropriate authority or professional where required. If you are buying, see our Gold Coast property due diligence guide for the different layers of checks.
How do I contact you?
Use our contact form. We reply within 1 business day. If something went wrong with a report you paid for, include the property address and the email used at checkout.
Where is PropertyCheck available?
PropertyCheck covers addresses in the City of Gold Coast and Brisbane City council areas: a free preview, then a full PDF report for A$17.95 if you want it. Other areas (for example Ipswich, Logan or Moreton Bay) are not covered yet. The address box shows what is available for the address you enter.
The property can look perfect in the listing.
The question is whether the place around it works for you.
