The Brief
Our clients were ready to make the move into their long-term home. They had their sights set on a few key suburbs on the Lower North Shore, looking for a property with long-term potential and a great community for their growing family. The brief was clear:
- An older style 4-bedroom home on a generous block that they could enjoy immediately, while also retaining the option to renovate or build a new home in the future.
- A suburb that had a family community with strong capital growth potential.
Our Approach
1. A Patient, Strategic Search
Over a 4-month period, we carefully tracked the market, presented over 15 off-market properties, ruled out unsuitable properties, and kept our clients informed every step of the way.
2. Off-Market Access
Through our network, we secured access to an off-market property in Northbridge that ticked every box. No other buyer in the market knew the property was for sale. The features of the home were:
4 bedrooms and a family-friendly layout, set on quiet Cul de sac street, potential to add value through renovations.
3. Due Diligence and Confidence in the Purchase
- Conducted thorough due diligence on the property, which included development applications nearby and building inspection.
- Organised a building quote so the client had a clear picture of future renovation costs.
Negotiated a deal below comparable recent sales, with zero competition.
The Outcome
We secured the right home: A spacious 4-bedroom house in Northbridge, move in ready but with potential to add value. Purchased off-market, well below comparable sales. A smooth, well-managed process with a strong outcome for the clients.
