Building your new Home
Pre-Construction
This phase is an opportunity to get to know you, your needs, wants and budget as well as taking the opportunity to help you understand what's involved with purchasing land and building a house. We will work with you to understand your desires and subsequently put you in the best position to find the land you want and then build your dream home to live in or for investment. We keep an eye on budgets to ensure the lowest costs and match you with builders that we know and trust to deliver exactly what you want in an appropriate time frame. If it's an investment property, then this strategy focuses on understanding market movements and trends, assessing future market viability, current and future demographics as well as running detailed number analysis to ensure that key targets are met.
Construction
Throughout the construction of your home or investment, we'll be there every step of the way managing and reporting on the progress of the builder keeping you up to date as well as outling the next steps to keep you as informed as possible. Often times, the construction updates can be vague from a builder so we'll assist in deciphering industry jargon to make it easier to know how it's all progressing. If it's an investment property, we'll work with you in identifying appropriate local agents to take over the property once construction is complete and prepare the property for your new tenants.
Post-Construction
Where possible, we will attend the pre-handover inspection with you as well as the handover or have a professional there to assess the build on your behalf before taking possession. We'll then look to note the maintenance period deadlines and key dates to ensure that any issues post build are rectified in a timely fashion with minimul fuss.
For our investor clients, our post service also includes being on hand to offer property management advice, tips and to answer any questions helping you to keep your investment operating at an optimum level.
Investing in Property
How does it work?
Investing in property can be a great way to generate wealth for the future but mistakes are easily made and this usually begins through getting the numbers wrong and focusing on the wrong information. Ever heard someone say you can't get yield and growth at the same time? We will help you to understand how real estate markets work and ways to help you protect yourself from common mistakes around yields/returns, growth patterns, market demographics, historical trends and help you figure out if this is the right option for you.
Following our initial consultation, whether you choose to use or services or not, we aim to give you the tools you need to do this confidently on your own.
By the Numbers
Investing is always about the numbers. Numbers specific to you and your situation as well as the returns your investment will generate, not just surrounding growth but yield and actual investment/purchase levels. One common mistake here is thinking that bigger is better but you never hear seasoned investors saying that their property portfolio went up $100,000, they always talk in percentages and diversity. How do you achieve that? Looking at the numbers specific to your situation, we can help you find a way.
Selecting your market
The numbers are in and a target has been set, now we need to secure a marketplace that will allow you to hit those markers. How much to spend and what yield to target are important but will help us narrow down the market and type of property to go after.
Taking in information surrounding the market demographic for both today and the future forecast, business, government, retail, education and medical investment to the area will help us assess if the market is in planning phase, growth phase or perception phase. All market phases carry opportunity and your appetite for risk will determine which one you are comfortable with
Sourcing your property
The market has been selected, now it's time to choose your vehicle. Everyone's circumstances are different and that will mean different types of properties for each individual. This is now where we revert back to the numbers and design a home that meets the original brief, selecting the most appropriate development within the chosen region and then matching to the builder to deliver us the best product.
Managing the build
Just as we do for our owner occupier clients, we will manage the build from start to finish keeping you up to date with progress along the way.
With our extensive knowledge in the property, house and land and building world, we will help breakdown the process, ensure that the numbers are covered and ensure that the builder does as they promise to minimise your risk taking the workload on at our end so you can rest assured knowing it's all under control.
Managing your new investment
As we don't target any one area in particular, we don't have the capacity to manage your home allowing us to remain independent and offer you unbiased opinions and feedback.
So with that in mind, we will take on the process of interviewing local agents who we believe are well placed to take on the day-to-day management of your new home.
With prior property management experience and prior real estate business ownership/management experience, we have the contacts and know the questions to ask to put you in the best position to relax knowing that your new asset is well looked after regardless of whether it's around the corner or interstate.
