What Liveable does

Liveable Insights Pty Ltd, trading as Liveable, is a Sydney-based proptech company founded in 2016 that operates a free web-based neighbourhood recommendation platform across seven cities — Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, London, and Boston. The product collects user preferences across affordability, commute time, safety, and convenience via an interactive quiz, then applies a proprietary scoring algorithm to rank neighbourhoods against those priorities, returning a shortlist of recommended areas with linked property listings. The platform targets consumer segments including individual home seekers, students, working professionals, families, and travellers, and also maintains dedicated landing pages aimed at two B2B segments — real estate professionals and relocation/migration specialists.

Technically, Liveable is a self-serve browser application served from explore.liveable.co with no native mobile app, no public API, and no SDK; neighbourhood and amenity data appear to be aggregated into per-city profile pages rather than streamed through a developer surface. The architecture is quiz-driven preference capture feeding into a scoring/ranking layer, with social sharing (Share, Tweet, Email) built into results pages to drive organic word-of-mouth.

Monetisation is principally affiliate/referral-based: users clicking property listings are routed to external booking platforms such as Airbnb, with the platform retaining a referral cut. A B2B toolkit for real estate and relocation professionals is implied through dedicated landing pages but is not commercially confirmed. The company has disclosed a single funding event — participation in the BlueChilli accelerator in January 2017 — and shows no subsequent capital raises, revenue figures, or management team details in the available data, indicating an early-stage, founder-led operating posture.
