Buying & researching property
If you're looking to buy or sell property on the Gold Coast, you may find information you need here. We offer a range of searches and reports. Before buying a property, it's a good idea to do some research first. You can find out about building or planning approvals, and how planning constraints might affect a property.
This can help avoid issues such as:
