What buyers say about Shire

Buying felt like a minefield: the process, the crazy hills, the natural disaster warnings on every property. Shire got us to a shortlist we were serious about really quickly, and the cost estimates let us ask the agent much more pointed questions.

“It pulled out crucial information even the agent and the vendor hadn't realised. In one instance it was an EQC report that had been swept under the rug.”

I never felt confident I'd covered everything. Definitely something I could have used, and I'm sure I will as I look at my second.

What the public record won't tell you about 18 Daytona Place

The record shows the value and the building basics. It won't tell you about weathertightness, flood risk, unconsented work or what the building inspector found. That's buried in hundreds of pages of council files, a title full of covenant numbers and hazard maps nobody can read.

No wonder nearly half of NZ homeowners say they bought on gut feel.

We've heard the horror stories so you don't have to live one

Shire was built alongside hundreds of NZ buyers, brokers, insurers, lawyers and council LIM teams. We know where the expensive surprises hide, so you don't have to learn the hard way. Our mission is simple: no one should get taken advantage of when they buy a property.

The surprises always cost more after you sign

A hidden EQC claimBart, a first home buyer, found an EQC claim the agent and vendor hadn't mentioned. He dug into it before offering, not after settling.
$45,000A council sewer ran under the section. That's about $5k for consent to build over it, plus roughly $40k of structural work. It was in the LIM.
Insurance pulledA first home buyer had their insurance dropped just before going unconditional, over an unconsented deck. Then came weeks of lawyer's fees trying to save the deal.
$6,000 off the priceMandy's builder's report found a hot water cylinder about to burst. She priced the fix and took it off her offer.

  • Know your number, and what should come off it

  • Sleep well after settlement

Questions buyers ask

Is it really free?

Your first report is free. After that it's pay-as-you-go, with no subscription.

Does it replace a builder's report?

No. A builder's report needs someone on site. Shire tells you which houses are worth paying for one, and reads it for you when you upload it.

How is the Shire price worked out?

From current market prices, adjusted for everything in this house's reports. The more reports you add, the sharper it gets.

Is this legal or financial advice?

No. It helps you understand the documents and ask better questions of your lawyer, builder and broker.

Who can see my documents?

Only you and the people you invite.
