How deep do we X-Ray?

Three levels down: the overlays everyone publishes, the paperwork most people miss, and what your block actually does in rain and winter sun.

Levels 1 & 2 · The public record, read properly

The basics, then the paperwork that bites.

1
The basics. Flood zones, bushfire ratings, zoning, crime. Any property site can show you these, so we give them to you free on every QLD address.
2
The paperwork that bites. Easements, covenants, koala habitat, the DAs on your street. The things buyers usually discover after the contract, surfaced before.
Every layer on one map, each with its source and date.

Level 3 · What the block actually does

Where the water goes. Where the winter sun lands.

We build your block in 3D from state terrain mapping: spin it, place a house, a granny flat or a pool, then watch where water flows and pools in light, medium or heavy rain, and how far the winter shadows reach on the shortest day of the year.

A flood map says maybe. The terrain says where.

Modelled from QLD Government 0.5 m LiDAR terrain. Indicative only, not certified hydrology.

From finding to risk

The X-ray finds it. We investigate what it costs.

An easement on a map is just a line until you learn it kills the pool. Every finding gets read for what it actually blocks, costs or changes. Buying? You know before you sign. Selling? You learn what the buyer’s searches will surface before they do, and price it in instead of renegotiating on the back foot. We hold no listing and earn no commission, so both sides get it straight. Five real addresses, five findings investigated.

Finding 01 · Easement · The renovator

Dreaming of a pool? Meet the easement.

The listing"Tidy 600 m² first home. Room to extend, add a pool."
Property X-Ray148 m² locked under a registered easement, nearly a quarter of the block. No pool. No granny flat. No building over it.
An easement never shows on a listing. It shows on us.

We find the signals.
You make the call.

Every property hides dozens more like these. We pull it all into one place: flood, easements, zoning, what's approved next door, the land you can't use. All summarised nicely into one report, so no need for 7-8 tabs of council maps anymore. You just know what you're buying, or what you will be selling.

From the Journal

The data, written up.

The same Queensland datasets behind your report, turned into plain-English reads on suburbs, subdivision, flood, and what councils are actually approving.

What is an easement? The QLD buyer's guide, with real numbers

An easement is a registered right for someone else to use part of your land. About one in eight Queensland freehold lots carries at least one. What that means in plain English, the types you will actually meet, whether you can build over one, and how to check any address before you sign.

Is Ripley a good suburb? What the data says (including the numbers nobody shows you)

Ripley's house median jumped 52 percent in four years, from $612,000 in 2022 to $927,500 in the first half of 2026. Everyone shows you that number. The full crime mix and the 269 registered encumbrance parcels? Nobody shows you those. This piece has all of it.

How long does it take to subdivide a block in Queensland?

We measured 6,522 decided Queensland subdivision applications. Half are decided in about two months, and the ones that fail take longer than the ones that succeed. Here is the timeline, by outcome, by council, and by how many lots you are chasing.

For buyers’ agents

Your buyer reads this report anyway.
Put your name on it.

Property X-Ray pre-fills a client-ready due diligence report from the public record: easements, covenants, flood, the DAs next door, subdivision potential, crime. You review it, sharpen it with your judgment, and send it under your own brand.

AutoPilot. You still drive.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

We're a free data hub for Queensland properties. Each report is a second opinion about an address: edge cases worth knowing, plus benefits or lifestyle fit you might not have thought to check.

We pull every layer that matters for any QLD address (overlays, comparables, DA pipeline, schools, structure-level reads from aerial imagery) and consolidate them into interactive maps and datasets. All written in plain English that anyone can read.

Yes. Search any Queensland address and read the data: flood, bushfire, crime, development applications nearby, school catchments, sales history and more, straight from official registers. No card, no trial.

A free account adds two extra title checks on top: registered easements and covenants. The fully unlocked professional report is something buyers' agents provide to their clients, and that side keeps the lights on.

You can, but only so far, and only one property at a time. Done properly it means council overlay maps, the DA register, comparable sales, catchments, commute and cashflow, all gathered by hand for each address. Possible, but it does not scale past a property or two before the fatigue sets in.

General AI tools like ChatGPT can technically reach live QLD overlays, DA registers and parcel boundaries, but it is fiddly, so most people just paste in screenshots and ask for a summary. The risk lives in that summarising step: the material you gathered by hand becomes the input for hallucinations, especially on the free or cheaper models with no Queensland-specific training.

And both stop at a single address. A chat model cannot hold even one suburb's worth of data in its context, let alone aggregate it, so it cannot tell you what is actually true across a street or a suburb. Property X-Ray runs on the full Queensland dataset, so it answers at the property level and zooms out to the suburb level: every easement, DA, sale and overlay counted, not guessed.

Yes. PXR uses a Large Language Model (LLM) specialised for property analysis. Every fact in your report comes from official government registers (never invented, never guessed). The LLM narrates the findings, and has been taught not to speculate beyond the source data. Every claim links back to its source.

No. Our indicative price ranges come from a proprietary model trained on public sales data. PXR is a screening layer to inform your decision. It's not a valuation under the Property Occupations Act 2014 (QLD). However, it is always better to have another opinion about price.

Houses get the full treatment. Townhouses and units get a free strata overview instead: nearby unit and townhouse sales, flood exposure and the development applications around the block. Commercial addresses run the quick check (flood, bushfire, crime, school catchment). More depth for strata and commercial is on the roadmap.

Queensland-complete today. NSW mid-2026, VIC and SA to follow.

That is exactly what the professional side of PXR is for. We prepare the full report branded to your agency (co-branded or full white label), you review and edit it, and your client opens it from a magic link under your name. The grunt work is done; the judgment stays yours.
