Important Information
APRIQ is research, not personal advice
APRIQ helps users investigate Australian property markets.
It does not tell an individual what they personally should buy.
APRIQ information is general in nature and does not take into account your:
- objectives
- financial position
- borrowing capacity
- taxation circumstances
- risk tolerance
- investment strategy
- or personal needs.
Property markets are complex
Property outcomes may be influenced by:
- individual property quality
- location
- street
- property type
- condition
- planning
- local housing supply
- borrowing costs
- interest rates
- taxation
- population
- migration
- employment
- infrastructure
- environmental risk
- building costs
- regulation
- and many other factors.
Market-level information is not a substitute for property-specific due diligence.
Data can change
APRIQ uses information from multiple publishers.
Publishers may:
- revise historical information
- change methodology
- alter geographic boundaries
- correct errors
- change release schedules
- replace datasets
- or cease publication.
APRIQ may also update calculated information where underlying evidence changes.
Evidence strength
APRIQ distinguishes between:
OBSERVED — Direct evidence.
CALCULATED — A deterministic calculation.
MODELLED — An estimate or model-generated result.
APRIQ also distinguishes geography using:
DIRECT — Measured at that geography.
WEIGHTED — Derived using a defensible geographic correspondence.
PARENT — A wider geography is shown.
NONE — No defensible value is available.
These distinctions form part of the information.
Market Finder, signals and rankings
An APRIQ:
- ranking
- Housing Balance reading
- Market Finder result
- comparison
- signal
- watchlist notification
- model output
- or forecast
is a research tool.
It is not a recommendation to buy property.
A high-ranking market may still produce poor results.
A lower-ranked market may contain individual properties that perform strongly.
Forecasts
Forecasts and probability assessments are uncertain.
Unexpected:
- economic
- regulatory
- political
- environmental
- financial
- and local events
may materially affect outcomes.
Forecasts are not guarantees.
Prices, rents and yields
Median prices, rents, yields and growth rates are market aggregates.
They do not constitute a valuation of a particular property.
Gross rental yield calculations may not take into account:
- vacancy
- management costs
- body corporate
- council rates
- insurance
- maintenance
- stamp duty
- tax
- finance costs
- and other ownership expenses.
Gross yield is not the same as net investor return.
Independent verification
Before making a significant property or financial decision, independently verify information and seek appropriate professional advice where necessary.
This may include advice from:
- accountants
- solicitors
- financial advisers
- mortgage or credit professionals
- valuers
- property professionals
- building inspectors
- tax advisers
- and other specialists.
No guarantee
APRIQ aims to maintain strong evidence and provenance standards.
However, no property intelligence platform can guarantee that every figure is:
- complete
- current
- error-free
- suitable for every purpose
- or predictive of future outcomes.
