Shire × Tellara AI

An AI-powered property due diligence platform. Helping buyers understand documents and identify risks before purchasing — built and launched as a Tellara product.

The problem

Property buyers are flying blind

Buying property is one of the biggest financial decisions most people make. Yet the due diligence process involves reading dozens of dense documents — LIMs, building reports, property titles, council records — with no easy way to understand what matters. Buyers miss risks, overpay, or walk away from good deals out of uncertainty.

The solution

AI that reads property documents so you do not have to

Shire lets buyers upload their property documents into a single unified chat interface. AI analyses the documents, identifies potential red flags — seismic risks, flood hazards, compliance issues — and provides cost estimates for identified risks. The platform also automatically researches relevant property information based on the address.

Why it matters

No one should get taken advantage of when buying property

Shire consolidates documents, questions, and risks in one accessible location. Instead of manually re-reading multiple PDFs, buyers get comprehensive analysis and risk assessment through a single conversation. The platform serves buyers across New Zealand including Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton, and Tauranga.
