A reason to choose you
Most advisers arrive with the same price data. You arrive with what the shortlist will actually cost to live with, built around your client.
SuburbCost Pro · for buyer's agents and brokers
Show clients what a suburb
costs to live in, not just to buy.
Your clients can find a price guide anywhere. What they can't find is the running cost of every suburb on their shortlist, compared side by side for their own commute and household, next to the flood, fire, school and transport facts. Pro puts it in one branded suburb report with your name on it.

Why it's different
Price is everywhere. Running costs aren't.
Every agent, broker and portal can talk price, sales and growth, and your clients have usually seen it all before they call you. What nobody hands them is what each suburb will cost to live in, year after year, once the keys are handed over. That's the part SuburbCost puts together.
What your clients can already get
- Price guides and recent sales
- Median prices and growth charts
- Rental yields and investment data
- Borrowing and repayment estimates
What only SuburbCost puts together
- The hidden running costsCouncil rates, water, insurance and the commute for each suburb, for this client's household and route.
- A like-for-like comparisonUp to five suburbs on the same basis, side by side, with the ten-year difference spelled out.
- The liveability factsFlood and fire risk, nearest schools, stations, shops and hospitals, in the same document.

Between three Brisbane suburbs over ten years, in running costs alone. No listing or price guide shows that number.
6,158 suburbs148 councils2026-27 rates and water
From the sample report: the same house in each suburb, a household of two commuting four days a week to the Brisbane CBD. Per year, before electricity. Council rates and water are official 2026-27 figures, the commute is modelled, insurance and maintenance are estimated, and the ten-year figure assumes costs rise 3% a year.

Fewer surprises after settlement
The rates notice, the insurance renewal and the drive to work are on the page before your client signs, not discovered after.
A document that gets passed around

Reports compare costs. They don't recommend a suburb, lender or product, they aren't financial, credit or legal advice, and they don't promise anyone will save money. No property prices, valuations or growth forecasts.

Questions advisers ask
What is SuburbCost Pro?
SuburbCost Pro is a branded suburb report for buyer's agents and mortgage brokers in Queensland and New South Wales. It compares up to five suburbs on what they cost to live in: council rates, water, insurance and the commute for the client's own brief, alongside flood and fire risk, schools, transport and nearby services.
How is it different from other suburb reports?
Most suburb reports are built on market data: prices, sales, growth, yields and demographics. Pro is built on running costs: what a household will pay each year to live in each suburb, compared like for like, with every figure labelled by source. Use it alongside the market data you already rely on.
Is this white-label?
Yes. Your agency name, logo, colours, licence and contact details are on every page. A small "Data by SuburbCost" credit sits in the page footer, so your client can see where the figures come from.
Can I add my own commentary?
Yes. Every report has a full page for your assessment, in your words. The other pages set out the figures; the recommendation stays yours.
What goes into a report?
The client's brief: where they work and how many days they go in, how they travel, who's in the household, the type of home, and a shortlist of up to five suburbs in Queensland or New South Wales.
Where do the figures come from?
Council rates and water come from the council or utility that sets them, for 2026-27. The commute is modelled from the client's route at the ATO rate. Insurance, maintenance and body corporate are estimates. Every line says which it is.
Do you offer team plans?
Yes. The Team plan is $149 a month for up to five advisers sharing 30 reports a month, each adviser with their own name and contact details on their reports. For a bigger team, tell us how many advisers you have and we'll set it up around you.
How do I pay?
By invoice for now. Start with a free first report, and when you want to keep going, ask for an invoice for the plan that suits you. There is no card to enter and no contract to sign.
Can I stop at any time?
Yes. Monthly plans run month to month, so you can stop before your next invoice. Unused reports do not carry over to the next month.
Give your clients the half of the decision nobody else does.
Fifteen minutes on a call. We'll walk you through a report, show how it looks with your branding, and answer your questions.
