Independent property
reports, now on Domain

strata reports and contract reviews, on the listings
Australians are already searching.
What this means for you
Our portal integration works differently depending on which side of the transaction you’re on.
Your report keeps working after you've read it
Order an independent report on the property you found, from a vetted inspector on our panel. On eligible listings your report is then offered to every other buyer who hits 'Get the building & pest report' on that Domain listing – and each time one of them buys it, you get cashback. The more interest in the property, the more comes back to you.
Have a report ready before the first inspection
An upfront report on your listing captures serious buyers the moment they're interested, instead of losing them to a two-week wait for their own inspection. It also means you and your agent know about any issues before a buyer uses them at the negotiating table. No surprises, no last-minute price chipping.
Buyers now expect it
Reports on listings are fast becoming a buyer expectation, not a bonus. Your vendors are already investing heavily in their Domain campaign – a report ready to go on that ad captures the interested buyer immediately, before they go looking elsewhere. And every buyer who downloads it becomes a qualified lead in your pipeline.
Be seen where the buyers are, at no cost to you
Your reports are distributed to Domain's 6 million monthly visitors without you spending a cent on advertising. No Google Ads, no bidding on your own name. Talk to us about moving up the marketplace rankings and reselling your reports directly onto the portals.
Look for ‘Get the building & pest report’ on the listing
Domain reaches over 6 million Australians every month. On listings where a report is available, you’ll see a ‘Get the building & pest report’ link – tap it and you’ll land straight on the Before You Buy page for that exact property, with the reports available on it and the price shown upfront. No re-typing the address, no starting your research again.
Every report is completed by a vetted, insured professional from our panel of 600+ independent inspectors. We don’t do the inspections ourselves, which is exactly the point – you get an independent opinion, not the seller's.
How it works for buyers
Three steps, from listing to report.
Hit 'Get the building & pest report' on the listing
Or search the address here – either way you land on the Before You Buy page for that individual property.
Choose your report
Building and pest, strata, contract review or a combination.
Get it back fast
Your report is completed by an independent inspector on our panel and delivered to your account. If a report already exists on the listing, you can download it straight away.
What’s available on a property depends on how the seller has set up their listing. Search the address to see your options.
Order reportThe only marketplace where a report can pay you back
Cashback is available on selected listings. You’ll see whether it applies before you order.
Property reports have always been a sunk cost. You pay for an inspection, you miss out at auction, and the report goes in the bin – while the next buyer pays for the same inspection all over again.
Before You Buy is the only marketplace offering a cashback model across Australia’s major property portals. That distribution is the point. On eligible properties, every other buyer who hits ‘Get the building & pest report’ on that listing lands on your report – and each time one of them buys it, you get money back, up to four times.
A report on a quiet listing is a cost. A report on a busy Domain listing can pay for itself.
