What we check at the address level

Suburb averages can't tell you about one specific property. The full PropertyFlags report checks the address itself against official government layers — flood and bushfire mapping, zoning and height controls, development applications nearby, EPA contamination records, defect orders, aircraft and road noise, school catchments and more — and turns them into red, yellow and green flags with the questions to ask the agent.
