Title tells them what they own. Planning tells them what they can do.
Your clients ask whether a property can be extended, take a granny flat or be subdivided. Those questions sit outside a title search, outside a contract review, and outside most professionals' scope. A Preliminary Planning Report closes the gap before exchange.

What it means for youA documented answer to the questions you cannot formally answer
Your advice gets stronger, your file gets a planner's report in it, and your client transacts with eyes open. You stay in the loop as agreed with your client, and you are not the one interpreting an LEP on a Friday afternoon.
Client-facing priceFrom A$1,100 — around 70% less than standard town planning firms, and easy for a client to say yes to as purchase due diligence.
