PropertyFlags · guideWhat the free flag count means
Type an address, get three numbers: red, yellow, green. This page explains what stands behind those numbers, why they are counts and never scores, and exactly what the paid report adds to them.
What runs when you press the button
The same sweep the paid report runs for the address's state: hazard mapping, planning controls, contamination records, defect orders where published, development activity around the address, noise exposure, connectivity and area statistics, each queried from its official source. Every check lands in exactly one colour: red for register entries to review first, yellow for things worth a closer look, green when the register we checked returned no entry for the location.
The free result is the tally. It does not name the findings, and that is the honest trade: the count tells you whether there is something to read; the report is the reading.
Counted, never scored
There is no property score here and never will be. A score would pretend the registers can be averaged into a verdict; they cannot. A red flag describes a register entry, not the property itself, and only the source register can say how an entry applies to a specific lot. The colours set your reading order. The decision stays yours, with your advisers.
Green deserves its own honesty: it means the register we checked returned no entry, which is evidence, not a guarantee. A source that fails to respond is shown as unavailable, never counted as green.
What the full report adds
Every finding named with its register and snapshot date, the plain English reading of what it means, the question it hands you for the agent or property manager, the lot diagram, the winter sun geometry, and a PDF that is yours to keep with a link that stays valid. One address, one payment, from A$19 for the renter edition and A$29 for the buyer edition.

Common questions
Is the free check really free?
Yes: type an address, get the flag counts, no signup and no card. It exists so you can see whether the official record holds anything worth reading about an address before deciding whether the full report is worth A$29.
What gets checked in the free count?
The same registers the paid report reads for the state: hazard mapping, planning controls, contamination records, defect orders where the state publishes them, development activity, noise exposure, connectivity and area statistics. The free result shows how many findings landed in each colour, not what they are.
Why show counts instead of the findings?
Because the findings are the product, and because a count is already honest information: three red flags on one address and zero on another is a real difference you learn for free. The full report names each finding, its register, its date and the question to ask about it.
Is a higher count a worse property?
Not automatically, and this matters: flags are counted, never scored. A red flag means an official register has an entry worth reading before you commit; it can be broad, provisional or apply to part of a lot. Two red flags on paper can matter less than one, depending entirely on what they are. The count tells you how much reading awaits, not what to decide.
