The Actual Work
NPS is a new practice. Rather than ask you to trust reviews you can't verify, these are real desktop due diligence reports on settled Noosa properties — published to show how I look at a property. They don't cover everything I look at, but they're a genuine window into the process.
Every property I seriously consider on a client's behalf goes through a structured desktop assessment. This isn't a building inspection — it's a research layer that sits upstream of that. It uses publicly available records and databases to surface planning constraints, approval history, builder status, warranty position, and price history, before you spend money on professionals or commit conditionally.
The reports below are on settled properties — published for transparency, not marketing. The findings are real. Some properties are clean. Some have flags worth understanding. That range is the point.
A new build with a finalised DA, a deregistered builder, a narrowing QBCC warranty window, and a sale price $150,000 below its prior transaction — post-renovation. Three findings that converge on a single risk.
A luxury lakefront house on 1,283m² that settled 10 days before its road was named a flood inundation zone. Sold again four years later at a modest nominal gain. Four findings that converge on a single question.
A hinterland acreage with bushfire overlay, significant vegetation constraints, and a 15-month resale at a likely net loss. The planning picture and the price history both raise questions worth understanding before committing.
A newly built four-level luxury villa on a Group Title Plan lot in the heart of Hastings Street. Short-stay planning approval needs verification, builder warranty must be confirmed, and complex-wide redevelopment activity is an active holding-period consideration.
A Tim Ditchfield architect-designed oceanfront residence on 810m² that sold for $12.3m at auction. Coastal hazard overlay, expired warranty and a twelve-year coastal build combine to make the building inspection the entire risk question.
