Updates

How to Property is live. A free, plain-English property education platform built for Australians — personalised to the state you're buying in and the kind of buyer you are. No paywalls. No jargon. No nonsense.

Everything below is live and free to use from today. The full release lands on 14 May 2026.

Know exactly what you can afford

Seven calculators that adjust to your state — stamp duty concessions, first home owner grant eligibility, borrowing power based on your income and debts, deposit savings timelines, mortgage repayments across payment frequencies, rental yield on investment properties, and a full purchase cost breakdown including every fee.

No generic national figures. Every threshold, bracket, and concession reflects the state you're actually buying in.

Learn property in your own time

Bite-sized lessons you can finish in a lunch break, organised into courses across eight buyer journeys — first home buyer, first-time investor, experienced investor, rentvester, upgrader, downsizer, off-the-plan buyer, and seller.

• Each lesson includes written content, audio narration, and interactive activities — pick the format that works for you.
• Course quizzes at the end prove the learning stuck. Pass at 70% to mark the course complete.
• A growing glossary of property definitions written for humans, not solicitors.

Get answers that match your situation

Content adapts to where you are and what you're doing. A two-minute onboarding quiz captures your state, buyer type, timeline, and experience level — then every lesson, calculator, and recommendation adjusts to match.

• State-specific sections in every lesson — the same topic reads correctly whether you're in NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, SA, TAS, ACT, or NT.
• Buyer-type sections tailor guidance to your journey — a first home buyer and an investor see different advice on the same concept.
• Calculator defaults pre-fill from your profile so you spend less time entering numbers.

Practice before you commit

Twelve types of interactive activities built into lessons — scenario choices, drag-and-drop exercises, mini-quizzes, checklists, calculator tasks, fill-in-the-blanks, true-or-false, sorting, myth busters, branching scenarios, pros-and-cons categorisation, and budget builders.

Short, pragmatic checks that teach by doing. You practice making decisions in realistic property scenarios before you face them with real money.
