The Brief
Our clients, a busy professional couple, wanted to purchase an investment property that would deliver reliable rental income today while benefiting from the long-term transformation of Sydney’s Inner West.
With limited time to search themselves, they engaged us to identify a quality apartment in an established suburb with strong tenant appeal and the added advantage of future Metro infrastructure.
Our Approach
We carried out an extensive search across the Inner West, concentrating on suburbs set to benefit from the new Sydney Metro network. Alongside on-market opportunities, we worked closely with our network of local agents to uncover properties before they reached the broader market.
When an off-market apartment in Five Dock became available, we assessed the property, reviewed the tenancy and negotiated directly with the selling agent to secure favourable terms. Our focus wasn’t simply on buying off market. It was on purchasing the right property at the right price.
The Property
- Two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment with one secure car space
- Positioned within a boutique block in the heart of Five Dock
- Existing tenant in place, providing immediate rental income
- Walking distance to the future Five Dock Metro Station and local village amenities
The Result
- Off-market apartment secured after a targeted Inner West search
- Negotiated $34,000 below the clients’ budget
- Immediate rental income from an established tenancy
- A well-positioned investment with strong lifestyle appeal and excellent long-term growth potential
