For buyers
Know what it's worth. Offer with confidence.
Every listing carries an AI valuation. Every deposit goes on the record with Liivra Secure — held off-platform by the conveyancer, agent, or landlord trust account, never by Liivra. Every seller is identity-verified, and can apply for owner-verified listing status — title-deed reviewed before the listing goes live.
Your six-step flow
From first search to keys handed over — what happens at each step, who pays for what, and how the money moves.
Browse for sale
Toggle the home feed into buy mode. Filter by price band, suburb, school catchment, and property type. Only verified listings from identity-checked sellers surface.
Get an AI valuation
Every listing shows a market estimate — SA market sales data, 8–20 live comparables within 2 km, a confidence score. Know what it is worth before the agent tells you.
Compare your shortlist
Heart what interests you. Open the Compare grid to see price, features, location, trust scores side-by-side. Toggle "only differences" to cut the noise.
Offer on the record
When you are ready, submit an offer in-app. Your deposit goes into the conveyancer’s trust account (s86) — never the seller, never Liivra. Liivra records the arrangement and tracks progress; it never handles the funds.
Attorney-managed transfer
The seller’s conveyancing attorney holds the OTP deposit in trust and applies it on transfer. Bond, transfer duty, and registration happen off-platform, but you watch the progress bar in-app.
Keys handed over
Transfer registered at the Deeds Office. Seller releases the keys. The conveyancer applies the deposit on transfer — Liivra simply kept the record so everyone’s on the same page.
What it costs to buy on Liivra
Far less than a traditional 6 % agent commission. Deposit protection is on the record and free, with one bond-originator referral if you need a home loan.
