Virtual Buyers Agent
Every source the product reads, when it was read and the licence it ships under — followed by an equally plain list of what it does not hold.
Five things, each with the body that publishes it, the date it was read at, and the licence notice that body requires. A source with no date does not appear on this page — and a figure with no source does not appear in the product.
Resolving an address you type into a location, and drawing the static map that anchors a property. The map is a spatial anchor at real size, never a decorative thumbnail.

Schools, shops, parks, transport and medical services near a set of coordinates, rendered as categorised pins on the Location workspace. Coordinates only are sent, by our servers rather than by your browser, so your IP address does not reach the service.

The starting interest-rate assumption the Property Hub and the Stress test open on — the published target plus a stated lender margin. It is an assumption, it is labelled as one, and it is yours to change — nothing is calculated from it that you have not chosen.

Rates, brackets, thresholds and surcharges, held as dated literals rather than fetched. Every table states the financial year it belongs to, and the thresholds in several states are re-indexed on 1 July — so a table can be correct on the day it was written and stale on the day it is read. That is a known staleness mechanism, not a defect to hide: the dates are printed so drift is visible.
Not a roadmap and not a list of things that are coming. Each of these is something a property tool is commonly assumed to hold, and each one is genuinely absent — so the page says so rather than leaving you to conclude it is in there somewhere.
No recent-sales feed of any kind. We hold no sale prices for properties other than the ones you type in yourself.
Where it does exist
The state valuer-general or land registry publishes sale prices, and an agent can evidence recent comparables for you.
No median rents, no vacancy rates, no rental growth. A rent in the product is one you entered, marked as an estimate until you confirm it.
Where it does exist
A local property manager will quote an appraisal for a specific address.
Nothing here is a statement of what a property is worth. There is no automated valuation, and no figure that stands in for one.
Where it does exist
A registered valuer provides an independent valuation.
No property search, no listing feed, no alerts. The product starts after you have already found something worth looking at.
Where it does exist
The listing portals and agents you are already using.
No overlay renders on any map, in any state. A client for some state services exists in the codebase and nothing mounts it, which is not the same as a feature.
Where it does exist
Council flood mapping, a flood search, and the state planning portal for the specific address.
Nothing on this list is described as planned. A “coming soon” entry on a page titled where our data comes from still reads as a capability, which is exactly how a state mapping service came to be listed as active while no overlay rendered anywhere in the product.
A sourced figure is a fact with its origin stated — a duty rate published by a revenue office, a census count, the cash rate target. It carries the body that published it and the date it belongs to, wherever it appears.
A modelled figure is arithmetic performed on numbers you entered and assumptions you chose, shown with those assumptions beside it. Change one and the result changes. Modelling is not prediction: nothing here states what a property is worth, what it will be worth, or what a market will do.
Any value the product does not hold stays visibly unavailable. It never becomes a default, an estimate we picked, or a blank that reads as a zero.
