[?]How do you go about finding out the nitty gritty on a property you wanta buy.
Like the previous purchase price,council reno permits and alike, is it just a matter of enquiring through the council?????
ideas are good,
action is great!

Should contact the LPI – Land Property Information. I forgot the other name that they call themselves. It changes with each government change.
You can query (for a small fee) the history of the house/property. This includes past sale prices with dates, previous owners, mortgage, land dimensions, sewerage diagrams, approvals for renovations, and other information some people might find interesting.

Power_Biz I see you are from the Gold Coast – Try this one
Free Suburb Reports and Streets Sales History Reports for at least every street in QLD, are available from
gchl.com.auinvestor
(A Gold Coast Loans Brokerage – where you do not have to get your loans off them but you have access to these reports for free)
You request the sales reports to come in a PDF file (Cannot change) or as a text file which you open into excel (I prefer text file as you get more infor and can sort data) and:
*sort on street number or
*sale date etc.
*Good to know what houses have been selling for in the street (Has last 10years except the last three months),
*what the current owners paid for it and what the name of the owners is,
*can also tell how many rentals are in the street (current owners address is shown as somewhere other than the house you are looking at),
*also it is interesting to see the number of interstate people who pay greater than market value (To far away to know true value).
*Shows size of the block etc

Slight amendment to the internet address:
My backslash before investor does not show on screen for some reason.

Valuations in New Zealand might be another one to note:
https://www.quotable.co.nz/
I’m sure there are others but I noticed the “QV” logo on some documentation from the bank once so I’m guessing they are reputable.
There seems to be a lot of information on the site, too.
