The Risk of Buying Blind

What you don't know about a property can cost you.

Hidden Defects

Structural issues, water damage, electrical faults – only discovered after settlement, when the cost falls on you.

Strata Surprises

Unknown special levies and litigation buried in meeting minutes and other hidden defects.

Costly Delays

Last-minute reports that push back settlement and put your deposit at risk.

The BYB Shield

Three guardrails that sit between you and a bad property decision – built into every report.

Service Providers

Every service is prepared by an insured, independent professional with no conflict of interest.

Instant Access

Order direct through BYB. Existing reports download in minutes and find service providers at the touch of a button.

Pay Less

Our marketplace secures the best price for all our services and buyers share in the benefits.

Get the best price on property reports and services

You'll never pay more than you need to with BYB

Whether the seller has already ordered the report or you're the first buyer to purchase it, you'll always get the lowest price available for that property.

How it works

A report is ordered

Either a buyer or the seller starts the report.

You buy at the best available price

If the seller has initiated the report, you'll pay a discounted price or sometimes nothing at all.

If you're the first buyer, your price can only go down

For brand new reports not commissioned by a seller, if others buy the same report later, you automatically receive a refund of the difference. If no one else buys it, you simply pay the original price.
