Red Flag Report

Knome's own office. Three of six flagged.

Why this matters
You know about the house. But what about the neighbourhood?
Buyers spend months on the property and about twenty minutes on everything around it. The three below are true of every purchase in Perth, whether it is a first home, an investment, or the next step for a family.
A home open is twenty minutes on a Saturday.
You see it in good light, windows shut, coffee on the bench. You do not see the Tuesday six o'clock flight path, the freeway at peak, or what the street sounds like at eleven at night.
The selling agent works for the seller.
That is not a criticism, it is the arrangement. Nothing in a listing is required to tell you what is around the property, and nobody at the home open is being paid to bring it up.
What hurts resale is usually outside the fence.
Bushfire zoning, a floodplain line, an aircraft noise contour, a road two streets over. You can renovate a kitchen. You cannot renovate any of these, and they follow the address long after you own it.
What it checks
Six checks against the address, not the suburb.
Four of them answer about that exact point on the map. Two of them benchmark the suburb against the rest of Western Australia. All six come from government data, and every line of the report tells you which.
Bushfire exposure
Whether the property sits inside a designated Bush Fire Prone Area, which changes what you can build and what you will pay to insure.
DFES, Bush Fire Prone Area mapping
Floodplain
Whether the point falls inside mapped floodplain. A street can be dry and the block behind it can be in it.
DWER, floodplain mapping
Aircraft noise
Where the address sits against the ANEF contours. Flight paths do not show up on an inspection and they do not move because you complained.
WAPC, ANEF contours
Traffic noise
The nearest significant road, how many vehicles a day it carries, and how far away it is, measured in metres from the property.
Main Roads WA, traffic counts
Crime probability
How the suburb's recorded offences compare with the rest of the state, as a rate rather than a raw count, so a big suburb is not punished for being big.
WA Police, offence data
Social stability
A separate reading from the crime one, and separate on purpose. Two suburbs with the same offence rate can be very different places to live.
WA Police, offence data

What you get
Read it on screen. Take it with you if you want to.
The report is the free part and it is complete. The PDF is the same report as a document you can put in front of other people, and it is the only thing on this page that asks you for a name and an email.
On screen, free, no details

The PDF, free, name and email
The one you take to the home open
- Everything on the left, laid out to print and to forward.
- The suburb profile: education, owned against rented, and dwelling types.Where the suburb is large enough for the data to be published.
- Something to hand your partner, your broker or your conveyancer without retyping any of it.
Name, email and one tick. The tick is consent for us to contact you about that property, including our paid report, and it says so in those words.
Who is behind it
A licensed Perth buyers agency, not a lead generator.
Knome is a buyers agency that built its own software. The Red Flag Report is the first thing we run on every property we are asked to look at, which is the only reason it is good enough to give away.
Holds the agency licence. The person you would be inspecting, negotiating and buying with if you ever went further than the free report.
Australian Army, then WA Police, then years buying under other agencies' brands. Built this screen out of the checks he was already running by hand on every property.
“As a first home buyer myself I reached out to Brian for help to navigate the market. He has been an incredible help with his wealth of knowledge and passion for helping his clients. Would recommend [them] to everyone who is planning to buy a property in Perth”
Owen Eiszele · August 2025
“Excellent service, we wouldn't have gotten a property without them.” Crystal Adele, January 2026
Before you run one
The questions people actually ask.
Is it actually free?
Yes. No card, no account, no trial that turns into a subscription. We give it away because it is the first thing we run on any property a client asks us about, and because some of the people who read one eventually want a person to look at a property properly.
Do I have to give you my email?
Not to read the report. The whole thing appears on screen and you can close the tab. We only ask for a name and an email if you want the PDF, and the tick that comes with it says exactly what you are agreeing to rather than hiding it in the fine print.
Is this a valuation or an inspection?
Neither, and we will not pretend otherwise. It is an automated first-pass screen of the location. It does not tell you what the property is worth, and it says nothing about the roof, the stumps, the wiring or the termites. You still need a building and pest inspection, a title review and your own legal advice. Valuing a property is a separate paid report that a licensed person writes.
Where does the data come from?
DFES for bushfire, DWER for floodplain, the WAPC for aircraft noise contours, Main Roads WA for traffic counts, and WA Police for the two crime readings. Every line in the report names its own source, so you can go and check any of it.
Does it cover my suburb?
Perth metro. That is positioning rather than a limitation: this is a Perth buyers agency and the benchmarks are drawn against Western Australian data. Enter an address outside the area and the tool will tell you so rather than guess.
What happens to the address I type in?
It runs the checks, and it is stripped out of the page URL before any analytics or advertising tag can read it. We do not hand the property you are looking at to Meta or to Google. If you never download the PDF, we have no way of knowing who you are at all.
Find out before you fall in love with it.
One address, six checks, about a minute. If it comes back clear you have lost nothing, and if it does not, you have found out on a Wednesday rather than at settlement.
- Free. No card, no account, no trial.
The Red Flag Report is an automated first-pass location and demographic screen. It does not replace a building and pest inspection, legal advice, a title review or a full property assessment, and it is general information rather than advice.
