Upload the documents

The Section 32, contract of sale and any leases. Scanned pages are fine.

FAQ

Questions

Is this legal advice?

No. Credd gives you information to help you assess a property quickly and ask better questions. Always have a lawyer or conveyancer review the contract before you sign.

Which documents does it need?

The Section 32 vendor statement, the contract of sale and any current leases. If you only have the agent's brochure, Credd can still give you a first look.

How accurate is it?

Every finding cites the document and page it came from, so you can check it in seconds. Each document is read three times and the results compared, and anything Credd can't confirm is flagged rather than guessed.

Which states does it cover?

Victoria first, because Victorian Section 32 statements follow a set format. Other states will follow.

Who's behind Credd?

Credd is built in Melbourne by a commercial lawyer who got tired of reading 100-page vendor statements to find the three things that matter.
