Getting started
Can I get a demo?
The best demo is running it yourself — it's free to start. Sign up at the app, use your free credits, and run a site you already know. You'll have a full report in about a minute, and because you know the site, you can judge the output immediately. The 3-minute guide walks you through your first report.
What do I actually get in a report?
A full site work-up: the parcel (real boundary + land area from the government cadastre), zoning and overlays, slope, what you can build and how many (lots, townhouses or apartments — read from what's actually been approved nearby), comparable sales where available, and a complete feasibility — sale revenue against build costs, consultant fees, council contributions, contingency, selling, finance and GST — ending in the residual land value: the most you should pay for the land, with a GO/NO-GO verdict and a sensitivity table.
Which countries and states does it cover?
All Australian states, all 50 US states, the UK, New Zealand, Ireland and most of Europe, plus major markets in Asia, Latin America and Africa. Depth varies by market — coverage is deepest where governments publish the most open data (South Australia is the flagship). Every report tells you plainly what's wired for that market and what to confirm manually.
Accuracy & data
How does it get accurate costs?
Three layers: construction rates calibrated per market ($/m² by product type), the standard feasibility line items on top (professional fees, authority contributions, contingency, finance, selling) at the same percentages a feaso model uses, and real comparable sales for the revenue side where a sold-price feed exists. It's a first-pass, screening-grade feaso — accurate enough to shortlist, kill a dud, and set your maximum land price — not a substitute for a quantity surveyor's cost plan. And you can override any figure with your own builder's quote or researched end value.
Where does the data come from?
Official sources: government cadastres for parcels, state planning schemes and council GIS for zoning, published traffic and elevation data, and government sold-price registers where they exist (e.g. NSW Valuer-General, HM Land Registry in the UK, France's DVF). No scraping, no guesswork about boundaries — the same records your surveyor would pull.
Is it a valuation?
No. GoSiteHunt is a screening tool — the figures are indicative estimates to help you decide which sites deserve real due-diligence spend. It is not a valuation, planning, financial or legal advice. Formal decisions still need your surveyor, planner, QS, valuer and solicitor — GoSiteHunt's job is to make sure you only pay them for sites that deserve it.
What about land subdivisions?
Core feature. For any address it works out whether the site can be subdivided and how many lots — tested against minimum lot sizes, frontage, and the lot pattern that actually sells on that street (it won't say "4 lots" where the street only supports 2). Then the subdivision feaso: serviced-lot end values, civil costs per lot, and the most you should pay for the parent block — plus approvals and notification risk where that data is wired.
The report looks wrong for a site I know — what do I do?
First check the matched address at the top of the report — if the geocoder matched the wrong lot, everything downstream shifts. If it's matched right and still looks off, hit the feedback button in the app with the address. Real addresses are exactly how the engine improves — several fixes have shipped same-day from user-reported sites.
Pricing
What does it cost?
Free to start — sign-up includes trial credits (a site report is 1 credit, an area scan 5). After that, credit packs and plans are in the app under Account. Separate products are priced on their own pages: the $49 vendor's development report, Deal Flow off-market alerts from $49/mo, the DocFlow planning report ($249 instant / $990 planner-reviewed), White-label agent branding at $99/mo (includes 3 vendor reports), Assembly Pro at $299/mo (unlimited amalgamation scans, letter drops and tracked territories), and Billboard or Energy Operator access at $499/mo each.
Can I cancel a subscription?
Yes — subscriptions (Deal Flow, Billboard Operator) are monthly and cancel anytime; access runs to the end of the paid period. See refunds for the fine print.
The off-market marketplace
How do buyers and sellers actually connect?
An owner lists their site free (contact details hidden). A developer browsing the marketplace expresses interest with a short message; GoSiteHunt emails that introduction — message plus the developer's contact details — to the owner, and from there the two of you deal directly: negotiate, contract and settle through your own solicitors, exactly like any private sale. GoSiteHunt is an advertising platform, not a real estate agent — we never negotiate, relay offers or touch the money.
Do you charge commission on sales?
Never. Owners list free; the only seller fee is an optional flat $149 to feature a listing. Developers can browse free or subscribe to Deal Flow for instant alerts. No commission, no success fees — ever. It's what keeps the platform independent (and keeps us on the right side of agent-licensing law).
I own a property — is it a development site?
Check it free at what's my site worth: type your address and see the development potential and what a developer might pay. From there you can list it to developers free, or get a $49 branded report to use in your sale.
