Before You Buy - For Agents
Consumers are now demanding transparency and efficiency in everything they do. Buying your property is no different, and having a Building & Pest Inspection/Strata report upfront makes transacting easier.
Over 97k Reports
70% of successful property purchasers bought report
85% of report buyers bought or bid on the property
The figures above show that for a fraction of the cost of a report, you have the opportunity of getting at least one qualified bidder on your property in over 85% of cases. These bidders could help increase the sale price of your property by much more than the investment you are making in a report.
The two biggest reasons that a sales campaign falls over are issues with (1) finance, or (2) an inspection report. You can reduce the risk of your property sale falling over – and help push your sales price up – by getting a report upfront.

Before You Buy (BYB) Report
Australia’s best sales agents are recommending an independent report before going to market.

Potential buyers may not feel confident about making an offer if relevant reports are not available.
3. Identify Serious Buyers
You can track who is genuinely interested in the property by seeing which buyers are doing more due diligence by accessing a report.
4. Avoid Delays
Don’t risk losing a sale because potential buyers lose interest, change their mind or end up finding another property.
5. Provide Customer Service
Improve how the real estate industry is sometimes viewed by being a transparent agent. When people look to sell, they may remember how easy it was to transact with you.
