Property due diligence reports, from one address

What a property due diligence report is

A property due diligence report gathers what governments and councils have already mapped about one property, so you can read it before you buy, build or lend. The information is public, but it is spread across a planning scheme, a flood study, a heritage register, the cadastre, utility maps and geology mapping, each on a different website. The report puts it on one set of pages for one address.

It is a desktop check of records. It sits alongside the contract review, title search and building and pest inspection, and it tells you what to ask about before those are done.

Which report answers which question

Flood Model Report	$9	Modelled flood depth, velocity and flood level at the property for each published event	Where a published flood model is held: parts of Queensland, NSW, Victoria, Tasmania and the ACT
Geotechnical Desktop Study	$119	Mapped geology, nearby bore logs, soils, acid sulfate soil, groundwater, slope and an indicative soil reactivity range	QLD, NSW, VIC and SA
GIS and CAD Site Export	from $15	The same site data as drawing files (DXF, Shapefile, GeoPackage, KMZ) for a designer or engineer	QLD, NSW, VIC, SA, TAS, ACT

The Property Report, Terrain Report and Flood Model Report can be bought together as a Pre-Purchase Property Report for $25. There is no subscription and no account is needed. A free map preview shows what is mapped at the address before you pay. See all prices.

What the Property Report covers

• Planning zone and what the planning scheme says the land is for
• Flood: every council and state flood map that touches the lot, read from 519 flood maps and studies from 130+ councils and agencies
• Bushfire, heritage and environmental overlays
• Easements recorded on the cadastre
• Water, sewer and stormwater pipes, with depths where the network owner publishes them
• Sources: each finding names the dataset it came from and the date it was read

See a sample Property Report or the worked example.

Who uses it

• Home buyers checking flood, zoning and overlays before making an offer
• Buyer's agents and conveyancers screening a property for a client (agency plans)
• Owners and builders planning a renovation, extension or new build
• Developers, engineers and planners comparing candidate sites (site due diligence for professionals)

How it compares with the other ways to check a property

Option	What you get	What it leaves out
LayeredGeo report	One PDF for the address in minutes, with every source named	Title, contract, building condition and anything not yet mapped
Free council and state map portals	The same public data, free	It is spread over several websites, one per topic and per council, and nothing is written down for you to keep
Conveyancer or solicitor searches	Title, certificates and the legal position, with advice	Usually ordered after you have committed to the purchase; ground conditions and terrain are not part of it
Building and pest inspection	The condition of the building itself	Planning, flood, services and the ground under the house

These are not alternatives to each other. A buyer usually needs the conveyancer and the inspector as well; the report is the quick first check that tells you whether a property is worth taking that far.

What it is not

A property due diligence report from LayeredGeo is not legal advice, a title search, a survey, a building inspection or a geotechnical investigation. It reports what public datasets record about the land on the day it is generated. In NSW the section 10.7 planning certificate, and in Queensland the Form 2 seller disclosure, remain the formal documents.
