# Before You Buy

> Before You Buy (formerly Before You Bid) is a Sydney-based proptech company that runs Australia's largest property due-diligence platform. It connects buyers, sellers and agents with a vetted panel of independent, insured inspectors for building & pest, strata, pool, electrical, plumbing and contract reports. Its signature share-cost model splits the price of a single report among everyone who buys it, refunding earlier purchasers when later buyers order the same one - so the more people who need a report, the less each pays.
