The Brief
Our expat clients, based in Singapore, wanted a modern, low-maintenance apartment in Sydney with easy access to the CBD. Their must-haves included:
- A low-rise building close to shops and amenities.
- Plenty of natural light and a green outlook.
- Low strata fees for minimal ongoing costs.
As overseas buyers, they needed a trusted adviser to handle the search, provide real-time market insights, and assist with due diligence and negotiations.
Key Considerations
- Buying Remotely
Being overseas, they couldn’t inspect properties in person and needed detailed video walkthroughs and detailed feedback to make an informed decision.
- Competitive Market
With high demand for well-located apartments, we had to move fast and explore off-market opportunities to increase their options.
The Outcome
In just 3 weeks, we found and secured a split-level apartment that ticked all the boxes:
– Bright, modern living space with a green outlook.
– Located in a well-maintained, low-rise building in Zetland.
– Purchased pre-auction, well under budget.
The clients completed the purchase from overseas, with inspections, due diligence and negotiation managed on their behalf.
