Leichhardt Townhouse Secured Off-Market in 7 Weeks for Upsizing Couple

Summary
Referred by a past client, this professional couple engaged Grantham Buyers Agents with a clear brief: sell their current home and upsize — all within a 3-month window.

Seven weeks later, we secured their ideal property off-market in Leichhardt. A smart, lifestyle-forward upgrade with everything they were looking for — and more.

The Brief
The clients wanted to upgrade their living situation with a focus on space, lifestyle, and flexibility.

Key requirements included:

– Oversized living and dining for entertaining and cooking, work from home capacity
– Proximity to transport, parks, and the Inner West’s village lifestyle
– A smooth transition from sale to purchase within 12 weeks

Our Approach
We conducted a focused 7-week search across the Inner West, leveraging both advertised and off-market opportunities through our agent network.

By refining the brief and pre-screening properties, we kept the process efficient — so the clients only inspected properties that genuinely matched their needs.

The Property

– Townhouse in a boutique Leichhardt setting, two generous bedrooms
– Secure garage with self-contained studio above, open plan kitchen/living
– Walking distance to cafes, shops, transport, and green space

It offered the perfect balance of lifestyle and practicality — exactly what our clients were after.

The Result

– Off-market purchase secured with no competing buyers
– Settlement terms aligned with the sale of their previous home
– Stress-free transition and a dream outcome within 7 weeks

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Leichhardt a good suburb for upsizers?

Yes. Leichhardt offers the best of Inner West living — village feel, transport links, and walkability — with access to larger homes and townhouses for growing families or professionals upsizing.

How long does it take to upsize with a buyers agent?

We typically secure properties within 6–8 weeks. With a clear brief and market access, the process is focused, not rushed.

Do you only buy off-market properties?

Not exclusively, but over 60% of our purchases are off-market. These are often quieter, more strategic deals — ideal for buyers who value privacy or want to avoid competition.

Can you coordinate the sale of my current home too?

Yes. Through our vendor advisory service, we help shortlist agents, run interviews, and manage the campaign — so you can focus on the next move.
