What is beforeyabuy?
Most buyers make their biggest financial decision with a vendor's contract, a quick Google, and 30 minutes at an open inspection. The questions that really matter — the ones that affect whether you'll love living there and whether it holds its value — are much harder to answer on your own.
- How far is the nearest train, on foot? How long to the CBD by car or PT?
- What's the tree canopy like? Are cafés and parks actually walkable?
- Which school does this address fall into — and has that catchment shifted?
- Is there a flood overlay, a contaminated site, or a rezoning in the pipeline?
beforeyabuy answers all of it. Enter an Australian residential address and get 35 checks across 7 categories in one shareable report — sourced from 100+ open government datasets and satellite imagery, grounded in peer-reviewed methodology.
