The Problem

Homebuyers, especially first-time or returning buyers, struggle to know what questions to ask, which survey level to choose, and whether a property is overpriced or hiding costly issues. They often discover damp, missing fixtures, rubbish, defects, or legal/survey gaps only after completion, when remedies are slow and expensive.

Potential Solution

The product combines a guided viewing checklist, survey recommendation engine, disclosure tracker, comparable-sales pricing analysis, and completion-day condition verification. Buyers upload listings, documents, fixtures forms, survey reports, photos, and notes, then receive risk scores, missing-document alerts, suggested solicitor questions, and evidence packs for negotiation or claims.

Why Now?

High housing costs, poor new-build quality concerns, and volatile property pricing have made buyer mistakes more expensive. More buyers are navigating transactions without experienced family support and need practical software that reduces preventable risk.

Boat Brief launch

Product HuntJul 20, 2026

Boat Brief helps prospective buyers with due diligence for canal boats in the UK. The system can review any boat advert for potential red flags. It uses this to generate a bespoke checklist to help buyers know the right questions to ask during the viewing. It also searches public records, compares the asking price with similar listings, and provides cost estimates for licensing, insurance, and any urgent repairs. All of this gets packaged into a helpful report with beginner-friendly guidance.. Product Hunt launch with 5 votes and 5 comments.

Comment on DueDocs

Jul 18, 2026

Hey Product Hunt 👋 We built DueDocs because buying property in Australia still means signing documents most people never fully read. Every weekend, buyers leave open homes with Contracts of Sale and vendor disclosures (Section 32, Form 30, and state equivalents) that can run to hundreds of pages. Restrictive covenants, planning overlays, vendor obligations, settlement terms. The details that change a deal are buried in clauses most people skim and hope their conveyancer catches later. We wanted contract clarity in 5 minutes, not 5 days. What DueDocs does Upload a PDF and get a structured AI report in under 5 minutes: 40+ risk categories scanned Negotiation points pulled from the contract Suburb insights (crime, growth, yield, demographics) Every finding linked to the exact clause and page AI chat and voice assistant on every report for follow-up questions Who it's for Buyers: First-home buyers, investors, anyone comparing properties on a busy inspection weekend. Upload at the open home, walk away with a report before other buyers have started reading. Professionals: Conveyancers, buyer's advocates, law firms, and planning consultants. Bulk upload from the web dashboard, process multiple contracts in parallel, and share password-protected reports with clients. Where you can use it Web dashboard (including bulk upload), plus native iOS and Android apps for reviewing contracts between inspections. From $15 per report. Your first analysis is free. Why we're launching here We think property buyers and professionals deserve the same speed and clarity AI has brought to other industries. DueDocs is informational only, not legal advice. It gives you and your conveyancer a head start so you can focus on strategy, not decoding 200 pages from scratch. We'd love your input: Are you a buyer or a professional? What would make this indispensable for you? What’s the one clause or risk you wish you’d caught earlier on a past purchase? iOS, Android, or web. Which would you use most? Try your first contract free and tell us what you think. Happy to answer anything in the comments. Thanks for checking us out 🙏

What questions should I be asking?

r/HousingUKJun 9, 2026

I’ve just got out of a shared ownership property after what felt like forever. I’m now about to buy my next property where I’m hoping to stay for a while. I don’t have much experience buying property (even when I bought the shared ownership flat it was out of necessity and I was so happy to find a place that I just jumped in) and no sensible friends or family I could turn to for advice. I’m about to view a few places I narrowed it down to so I would be grateful for some help with things I should look out for or questions I should be asking. I’m not looking for financial advice etc, more like practical or structural considerations. My goal was a house and I have a few that I will look at. I know I should look look for signs of damp and conditions of windows and roof but open to any other pointers. I’m also going to look at a flat. I had told myself never again and to run far away from leasehold but this one caught my attention because it’s at a good price with a very long lease and a share of the freehold. Still nervous about going back to a flat but given the market at the moment it might be a better deal for me. Are there any questions I should be asking? Grateful for any tips and advice given. Thanks in advance.

Do people nowadays just like pricing their properties at crazy numbers.

r/RealEstateJun 9, 2026

So I’m currently looking at a house for me as a primary residence not as an investment. I’ve seen alot of things I really like but when I look at the numbers I’m just like what is this person thinking I looked at 4 places in two communities and it’s almost like people don’t look at comps In one subdivisions one place is listed at 440k, the other at 460k ( that one been on the market over a year) the last identical unit sold for 400k In the other subdivision their asking 475k ( dropped from 500k) most recent one that layout in sane area sold for 445k and of last year Are people today just making up numbers, or is it a my area problem. Like the one listed for 475k ( which o actually like and will make an offer on) has called my realtor a few times asking if her client is still interested so the market seems to be agreeing with me
