The things you shouldn’t have to worry about, before you move in.

The Forensic Risk Index is the safety net we apply to every Vendee acquisition. It’s the research layer behind a building and pest report, the questions a sales agent isn’t paid to ask. So there are no expensive surprises after you have the keys.

  • Planning overlays outside standard vendor disclosure
  • Development approvals buried in council and court records
  • Body corporate exposure beyond the formal documents
  • The difference between costed risk and walk-away risk

Real case inside

How a Noosa Heads apartment buyer saved approximately $300,000 based on a development approval hidden in council records. One of four real acquisition stories documented in the framework.

★★★★★

"This was our first experience with a buyers advocate and Amanda well and truly exceeded all our expectations. Her willingness to ask & understand our property wishes along with her expertise in the local market was brilliant. In quick time she provided us with a list of properties with pros & cons to consider and provided personal videos of her property inspections. Her due diligence in researching all manner of potential problem, (flood zones, flight paths, easements, neighbourhood issues, etc.), along with guiding us through building & pest inspections saved us from making any costly mistakes. Her negotiating skills and prompt communications just added to the experience. We could not be happier with our purchase and the service provided by Amanda & Edna. We certainly would not hesitate to recommend engaging Vendee Property Buyers Agent."

Common Questions

Frequently asked.

What is the Forensic Risk Index?
A four-layer due diligence methodology published by Vendee Property Buyers for prestige property acquisition in Noosa and the Sunshine Coast. The framework Vendee applies to every client engagement, available as a free downloadable guide.
Who is the Forensic Risk Index for?
Buyers acquiring property in Noosa, the Sunshine Coast, or surrounding South East Queensland markets who want institutional-grade due diligence applied to their acquisition. Particularly suited to interstate relocators, prestige upgraders, and self-managed superannuation fund acquirers.
How is the Forensic Risk Index different from a building and pest report?
A building and pest report covers structural and pest defects on the property at the time of inspection. The Forensic Risk Index is the broader research layer behind the report: planning overlays, council and court records, body corporate exposure, and environmental risk that a building and pest inspection does not cover.
Is the Forensic Risk Index Vendee's full methodology?
The Forensic Risk Index is the four-layer due diligence summary. Vendee's full Elite Property Acquisition Protocol (VEPAP) is a nine-step methodology spanning strategy, acquisition, and execution phases applied to every Vendee client engagement.

Is the Forensic Risk Index applicable outside Noosa?

Vendee operates principally in Noosa and the Sunshine Coast; Gold Coast acquisitions are referred to a vetted regional specialist partner.
