Updated yesterday

What is it?

Unloan’s Check a Property tool helps you research homes with insights and data powered by Domain, a leading Australian property marketplace. It brings together key details like property features, estimated value, sales and rental history, and local market activity.

You can get a quick snapshot of key details and whether the property fits within your budget by using the Check a Property tool and Unloan’s Affordability Calculator.


Why it’s handy

  • Understand what you’re buying: See land size, bedrooms, bathrooms, car spaces, and more.

  • Stay informed: Check when it last sold, auction details, and price history.

  • Budget smarter: Estimate your deposit, upfront costs, and monthly repayments.


How to use it

  1. Enter the property address in the search bar

  2. Select the property from the drop-down list

  3. View the property details instantly

  4. Click the Calculate button in the Affordability Calculator to provide more of your information to get insights tailored to you.

If the property's estimated price is available, we'll prefill it for you in the Affordability Calculator. If not, you can enter your own estimate.


What you’ll see

Once you’ve selected a property, you’ll get access to (subject to availability):

  • Listing details: including when it was last sold

  • Property features: like land size, number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and car spaces

  • Auction info: including date and time

  • Estimated property value range: to help you understand what it might be worth

  • Property history: insights, that may include previous sale and rental prices

  • Local market activity including what’s recently sold or currently listed nearby


Understanding the Affordability Calculator

The Affordability Calculator can help you quickly estimate whether the property you’re researching is within your budget. Based on info you enter, you’ll get an estimate of:

  • The LVR required and how much deposit you’ll need

  • The upfront costs including stamp duty, estimated conveyancing costs, etc

  • The fees including government fees

  • How much you would need to borrow to purchase the property

  • What your monthly repayments could look like

This helps you estimate your overall affordability towards your selected property.
