Property Advisory

Don't buy a property
until you know exactly
what you're getting.

Before you sign anything, let a qualified land surveyor review the property, the plans, and the legal details — so you can buy with complete confidence.

The Hidden Risks

Most buyers only discover the problems after they've signed.

Agents are incentivised to sell. Banks check your credit, not the property's history. Without an independent specialist review, critical information often only surfaces once it's too late.

01

Undevelopable Land

Land sold as "buildable" that is zoned for conservation, flood-prone, or encumbered by servitudes — meaning you can never build what you planned.

02

Town Planning Issues

Structures built outside of approved plans, illegal additions, or non-compliant renovations that become your responsibility the moment transfer goes through.

03

Boundary & Title Disputes

Incorrect servitudes, unregistered rights of way, or boundaries that don't match what's on the ground — disputes that can drag on for years and cost a fortune.

A buyer purchased a piece of vacant land with plans to build their dream home. The agent never mentioned it. After transfer, they discovered that the majority of the stand was within a protected zone — undevelopable by law. The land they paid to build on, they couldn't touch.

A single assessment before signing would have changed everything.

Rose Ginya — Land Surveyor
100%
Independent. No agent ties.

Hi, I'm Rose Ginya.
I help you buy property with your eyes open.

As a qualified land surveyor, I've spent years reviewing what agents don't always show you — the plans, the town planning approvals, the zoning conditions, the servitudes. The things that only matter once it's too late.

I work exclusively for buyers. I have no ties to agents or developers, which means my only job is to give you the clearest, most honest picture of what you're about to purchase.

"Rose's report flagged a servitude running through the property that would have prevented us from extending. We renegotiated the price significantly. Worth every cent."

"I was about to put down a deposit on vacant land to build on. Rose's assessment showed most of it fell within a protected zone. I would have lost everything. I cannot thank her enough."
