The timeframe for purchasing a property varies depending on several factors. Each client’s journey is unique, influenced by considerations such as location, specific requirements, market conditions, budget constraints, available inventory, and potential issues encountered during the process, such as concerns in a contract or a failed building report. It’s crucial not to impose a strict timeline on the purchasing process, as rushing could result in the costly mistake of purchasing the wrong property.
Whilst we are presented daily with off market properties and do secure off markets for our clients, we stand by the theory that just because it’s off market doesn’t mean it’s the right property – by this I mean it may not suit your requirements, it may be overpriced, it may have building issues, or the seller may not be committed to selling.

The most crucial steps include obtaining pre-approval from a bank or broker and gaining a clear understanding of your budget. This should factor in not only the property’s purchase price but also additional expenses like stamp duty and other associated costs. It’s essential to have an understanding of your purchasing capabilities before beginning the search process.
The ideal areas for your purchase depend on your individual goals, including considerations such as desired yield, potential growth, and overall long-term objectives, all within the scope of your budget capacity.
While freestanding homes offer additional investment opportunities, they may not always be the best choice for every investor. Similarly, apartments have their own advantages. Factors such as location, amenities, yield, and growth potential all play a crucial role in determining the right asset class for your investment strategy.
While some investors opt to manage their investments independently, this approach may not be suitable for everyone. It’s important to thoroughly explore the pros and cons before making this decision.
Investing in property should be approached with a long-term hold goal in mind, rather than seeking quick returns from hotspots, which can carry significant risks. It’s crucial to purchase investments in areas with proven solid growth, rental demand, and amenities. Additionally, understanding property cycles is essential for making informed decisions about when to sell for maximum profit.
While some investors have experienced success with off-the-plan purchases, it’s important to carefully consider the associated risks. Our team typically doesn’t recommend this as a first investment option due to several factors:
- Inability to physically inspect the property for quality assurance.
- Potential delays in project completion.
- Saturation of similar properties in the market, reducing rental demand.
- Uncertain growth prospects.
- Risks of building defects.
