Question 1

What is Homesnoop?

Accepted Answer

Homesnoop is an online property due diligence platform for home buyers and industry professionals. Our property reports compile everything you need to know about a property — from market value to risk and zoning — into one easy-to-read document. Our online mapping platform lets you see all our due diligence data at a suburb level, and get instant due diligence search results for a property.

Question 2

Why do I need a Homesnoop property report?

Accepted Answer

When buying a property there are many factors that should be considered. Location, property condition, market conditions, future area developments, size and layout, potential for appreciation – the list goes on. A Homesnoop online property report makes it easy to understand what potential considerations exist with regard to town planning, development and environmental factors. Our reports help you understand key environmental risks, such as flooding, landslide, coastal erosion and bushfire, and development restrictions arising from zoning, character protections, easements, buried services and much more.

Question 3

What information do I get in a Homesnoop property report?

Accepted Answer

Up to 50 pages, including market insights and a price estimate, zoning, development applications, easements, character and heritage, flood and bushfire risk and historic mapping, landslide and coastal hazards, vegetation protections, flight paths, buried pipes, public housing and lifestyle data.

Question 4

What areas are covered?

Accepted Answer

Homesnoop online property reports cover around 95% of Australian properties (excluding the Northern Territory). Available data varies by area — search for a property in the app to see exactly what is available.

Question 5

Is it useful for units and apartments too?

Accepted Answer

A Homesnoop online property report contains information that is useful to people searching for any type of property, including houses, units, apartments, commercial property and empty land. For example, environmental considerations such as flooding, bushfire, landslides and coastal erosion are important factors for any property purchase. Also, our reports provide information for the area surrounding the property, not just the property itself. This can help you understand the type of surrounding development that may occur in the future, which can affect your enjoyment of the property.

Question 6

Where does the data come from?

Accepted Answer

We gather over 1000 datasets from over 100 different sources, including federal, state and local government organisations, utilities companies, open-source datasets and other sources. All these sources are checked for quality and reliability. We regularly update the datasets, to ensure the property reports have up-to-date information.
