Ask the right question of the right person.

Build separate prompts for the agent or seller, conveyancer and surveyor. The generator does not verify an answer or replace their work.

01

Property profile

Choose what you currently understand about the home.

Ask the

Agent or seller

Facts they can disclose or support with documents

  1. How long has the property been marketed, and have any earlier sales fallen through?
  2. What is included in the sale, and is any information in the listing approximate or illustrative?
  3. What do the sellers know about boundaries, access, parking, neighbour issues or flooding?
Ask the

Conveyancer

Title, searches, documents, enquiries and legal consequences

  1. What title, access, boundary or restriction points need property-specific investigation?
  2. Which searches and enquiries are appropriate for this property and location?
  3. Which statements still require documents or independent verification before reliance?
Ask the

Surveyor

Condition, construction, inspection scope and further investigation

  1. Which inspection level fits the age, construction, condition and alterations, and why?
  2. Which areas may be inaccessible or outside the agreed inspection?
  3. Can the surveyor address the visible concerns recorded during viewings?

How to record answers

  • Record who answered and when.
  • Ask for the document behind material claims.
  • Distinguish fact, opinion, estimate and information not known.
  • Do not ask one professional to confirm a matter outside their role.

Why the recipient matters

An agent can pass on seller information but cannot provide your independent legal or condition advice. A conveyancer investigates title and documents but does not inspect the building. A surveyor inspects within an agreed scope but does not replace legal enquiries. Route each material question accordingly.

Answers still need evidence

Record the source and date, ask for supporting documents and flag uncertainty. Marketing descriptions, measurements and verbal answers may be incomplete. Do not become legally committed based only on this generated list.
