Why Sellers Choose Upfront Reports

Four reasons the report comes first, and the sale becomes easier.

Reduced Risk

You and your agent know what you're selling before a buyer commissions their own report and surfaces something that puts the sale in jeopardy.

Faster Sales

The facts are on the table from day one. Buyers can act with confidence, not stall in cooling-off waiting on inspections.

Stronger Confidence

Confident buyers act with conviction. More qualified bidders means more competition, and stronger offers.

Trusted Partners

Every report is prepared by an independent, insured inspector from BYB's vetted panel. Credibility your agent can stand behind.

Why transparency helps sell your property

Hear from BYB's founder and one of Australia's most respected property industry leaders on why upfront reports lift sale outcomes.

Buyers see the facts. You see who's serious

You and your agent see exactly who's done their due diligence – in real time.

Intent Visibility

Every buyer registers before they can view the report you paid for.

Real-time Alerts

Your agent knows the instant a serious buyer downloads the report.

Verified Experts

Each report comes from an independent, insured expert on our panel.

How it works for sellers

Three steps from listing decision to confident campaign.

1

Order when it suits you

Get a report months before you list to find out what’s worth fixing – or ask your agent to include one as part of your sales campaign. Either way, ordering takes minutes.

2

We organise the service

Our panel of independent experts handles scheduling, inspections, and report delivery, typically within 2–4 business days.

3

Sell with the facts on the table

Fix what matters before you go to market, then list with your reports in place from day one – so qualified buyers can see exactly what they’re bidding on.

What does it cost you as a seller?

BYB uses share-cost models to keep the cost to you down.

In most campaigns, you share the cost of the report with your buyers. If the successful buyer of the property downloads the report, they may pay an additional fee to get the report transferred into their name. You can discuss the best model for your property with your agent or BYB.

Share Cost

You contribute part of the report cost upfront, which may be partly refunded as buyers engage.

Outright Purchase

You purchase the report outright with a discount, allowing buyers to download the report at no cost, lifting download rates and competition.

The share-cost model above applies to inspection reports. Services like contract preparation are priced separately.
