About & editorial standards

Who writes our guides, and how

Realestate Lens is a property-contract analysis app built by Promethic Labs, a software studio based in Sydney, Australia. Our guides, glossary, and articles are produced by the Realestate Lens editorial team to help Australian buyers understand contracts, costs, and the buying process. Here is exactly how that content is researched, written, and reviewed.

The editorial team

Our articles are written and reviewed by the Realestate Lens editorial team rather than attributed to individual personalities. The team combines property and finance researchers at Promethic Labs with input from practising Australian conveyancing and property-law professionals who help shape our contract-risk framework. We attribute content to the team, and to Promethic Labs as publisher, because accuracy here comes from our sourcing and review process, not from a byline.

How we create our content

We are upfront about our process, including where we use AI. This is general educational information, not personal financial, legal, or tax advice.

Researched against primary sources

Every guide is grounded in government and legislative sources (listed below), not other blogs. Figures, thresholds, and dates are checked against the relevant ATO or state-revenue-office page at the time of writing.

AI-assisted drafting, human editorial review

We use AI tools to help draft and structure articles, then the Realestate Lens editorial team reviews every piece for accuracy, clarity, and alignment with current Australian rules before it is published. AI is a drafting aid here, not the final word.

Built with practitioner input

Our contract-risk framework and the legal concepts in our guides are developed with input from practising Australian conveyancing and property-law professionals, and reviewed against state legislation updates as they roll out.

Updated and corrected

Tax rules, budget measures, and start dates change. When they do, we update the affected guides and flag material changes. Where an article has been overtaken by events, we add a dated correction notice and link to the current guidance.

What we research against

Our guides are built on Australian government and legislative sources, including:

Australian Taxation Office (ATO) rulings, guidance, and tax statistics
State and territory revenue offices (Revenue NSW, SRO Victoria, QRO, RevenueSA, RevenueWA, and equivalents)
First Home Buyer grant and stamp-duty concession schemes published by each state
Commonwealth and state legislation (Conveyancing, Sale of Land, Property Law, and strata Acts)
Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) and Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) data
Standard-form contracts of sale and vendor-disclosure requirements in each jurisdiction

Accuracy, AI use, and limits

AI disclosure. We use AI tools to assist with drafting and structuring our articles. Every article is then reviewed by the Realestate Lens editorial team against the sources above before publication. We tell you this plainly because you deserve to know how the content you are reading was produced.

General information only. Our guides, glossary, and articles are educational. They do not constitute financial, legal, or tax advice, and they are not a substitute for advice from a qualified Australian solicitor, licensed conveyancer, registered tax agent, or financial adviser who can assess your specific circumstances.

Corrections. If you spot something that looks out of date or incorrect, email support@realestatelens.com.au. We review and correct content promptly.
