Independent property
reports, for Home-in buyers
Before You Buy is proud to partner with Home-in, CommBank’s digital conveyancing service. Their legal team checks the contract – our independent inspectors check the property itself.
One purchase, both halves covered
Legal due diligence and physical due diligence, from two teams that work together.
Get the building checked while the contract’s being checked.
You’ve found the property and Home-in is across the paperwork. Order an independent building and pest or strata report from a vetted, insured inspector on our panel, and know exactly what you’re committing to before settlement – not after. Fixed price, shown upfront, delivered to your account.

Who is
Home-in?
Home-in is a digital conveyancing platform built and backed by Commonwealth Bank through its venture arm, x15ventures. Launched in 2020, it pairs a dedicated legal team with an app that tracks every milestone from contract to keys.
A property purchase has two halves of due diligence. Home-in covers the legal half – the contract, the negotiation, the settlement. A Before You Buy report covers the physical half – the structure, the pests, the defects no contract will tell you about. Together, no surprises on either front.
How it works
Three steps, before you’re locked in.
Order your report
Building and pest, strata, or both – on the property you’re buying. Fixed price, shown upfront.
A vetted inspector gets to work
Every report is completed by an insured, independent professional from our panel. We don’t do the inspections ourselves – you get an independent opinion, not the seller’s.
Act on it while you still can
Your report is delivered to your account in time to raise repairs, renegotiate, or walk away – while Home-in is still across your contract.
What’s available on a property depends on how the seller has set up their listing. Search the address to see your options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Contact BYB todayWhat does a report cost?
Pricing is fixed and shown upfront – no quotes, no callbacks. What you’ll pay depends on the report type and the property itself, so you’ll see the exact price for every report available on your property before you commit to anything. If nothing’s available to order on the property you’re buying, get in touch and we’ll see what we can arrange.
Check pricing on your propertyDo I have to be buying with Home-in to order a report?
No – anyone can order a report on a property they’re interested in.
Do I need to be a CommBank customer to use Home-in?
Pricing and eligibility depend on how you’re funding your purchase, and some property types are excluded. Home-in confirms both before you start – you’ll see what applies to you before you commit.
Who writes the report?
Every report is completed by an independent professional from our panel – qualified, insured, and vetted by us before they take a job. Before You Buy doesn’t do the inspections ourselves, which is exactly the point: you get an independent opinion on the property, not the seller’s.
Does Home-in or the seller see my report?
No, not unless you share it. Your report is delivered to your Before You Buy account and it’s yours – read it, download it, and send it to whoever you want, including your Home-in legal team. Neither Home-in nor the seller gets access to it from us.
One exception: if the seller arranged and paid for reports on the property upfront, they and their agent already have them. You’ll know that before you order.
