See What the Listing Does Not Tell You.

Not at all. PropertyLens is built specifically for everyday homebuyers and first-time investors. We translate the kind of professional data that agents, valuers, and solicitors use into plain-English reports anyone can understand.

A deep research report covers what you'd typically need from multiple professionals: easement analysis and lot encumbrances (surveyor), planning and zoning checks (town planner), comparable sales and $/m² analysis (valuer), flood risk for both river and overland flow (conveyancer), nearby development applications, suburb outlook and school context, infrastructure impact, condition and structural gap warnings, rental yield analysis, interest rate impact modelling, and a recommended maximum bid with cited sources. Findings come from public open data plus source-cited web research. Many items are indicators only, and the report lists which certificates and professional searches you still need.

Basic suburb browsing, market data, auction tracking, and planning overlays on the map are free. Address price estimates cost 1 credit ($2 AUD). Deep research reports cost 10 credits ($20). Renovation and build cost analysis costs 50 credits (~$100). Optional Buyer Pass ($39 / 14 days) and API plans are available if you need more. New accounts get 1 free price estimate and 1 free detailed report. No card required to start.

No. PropertyLens is a research tool, not a licensed valuation or legal service. Think of it as doing your homework before you engage professionals. When you walk into a meeting with your solicitor or valuer already understanding the zoning, comparable sales, and flood risk, you spend less time (and money) getting up to speed. Many buyers use PropertyLens to shortlist properties and go into professional consultations better prepared.

It can. When you already understand a property's zoning, overlays, comparable sales, and risks before meeting a solicitor, conveyancer, or valuer, those consultations become shorter and more focused. You're not paying a professional to explain the basics. You're paying them to advise on what you've already researched. Buyers who come prepared typically spend less time and get more targeted advice.

We aggregate public open data and licensed sources documented on our Data Sources page, including council planning portals, state government registries, ABS census data, and market feeds. Planning overlay depth is strongest where councils publish open spatial data (especially Brisbane City Plan), and coverage varies by state.

Every estimate is tracked against the actual sale price and our accuracy dashboard is publicly visible. We are transparent about where we get it right and where estimates vary. Price is one factor in a purchase decision. Use it alongside overlay, risk, and neighbourhood research.
