Our expert property buyers' have many years of proven success in locating off-market opportunities and suitable listed properties, including investment, commercial and prestige properties throughout Australia's eastern seaboard. Team up with PropertyBuyer to super-charge your property investment portfolio or secure your dream home. Our licensed buyers' agents will work from your property brief to search for Gosford property and conduct purchasing price negotiations to save your the time, money and stress of doing it alone.
Our Award-Winning buyers' agents can help you secure the following:Gosford is the administrative centre of the Central Coast of NSW and is located approximately 50km north of Sydney (approximately the same distance to Penrith). The city is a scenic 75-minute train ride from Gosford, however many locals are now working from home or finding jobs in the area as it continues to grow. Others are fortunate enough to retire in this beautiful part of the world and leave the city life behind.
Gosford is an historic city in Australian terms. The rail link to Sydney was completed in 1887 and the Pacific Highway was constructed in 1930. Development took off after this, so there are some lovely period homes spread around, although the majority are post-war brick or clad homes. Development has started to pick up again spurred by the Gosford City Centre Masterplan which aims to increase the number of residents and jobs in the city centre by 10,000 and 6,000 respectively by 2031. This means the council is supporting significant redevelopment of all types including luxury houses, townhouses, apartments and mixed-use developments. This is in stark contrast to many areas of Sydney that are pushing back against redevelopment in an effort to reduce population growth in the area.
Gosford provides major economic, retail, community and cultural facilities for the Central Coast, which is home to over 300,000 people. Demand to live in the city is continuing to grow due to its relative affordability to Sydney and even Newcastle, its enviable lifestyle with proximity to beaches and national parks, and an increasing number of jobs. By 2031, there are expected to be an additional 55,000 on the Central Coast. Industries most in demand include Health Care, Construction, Retail, Education and Accommodation services.
Mann Street is the main street though Gosford and has a number of restaurants with cuisines ranging from Middle Eastern to Nepalese and Japanese. The Imperial Centre includes Woolwoths
Supermarket, although head to nearby Wyoming Shopping Centre or Erina Fair for larger shopping centres with department stores and Hoyts Cinema.
One of the main attractions to living in or around Gosford is its relaxed lifestyle and access to picturesque waterways and national parks. Brisbane Water is a haven for all types of water sports and has several beaches that you can sometimes have all to yourself, which is unheard of in Sydney! There are many walking paths to choose from including the 250km Great North Walk from Sydney to Newcastle via Brisbane Water National Park.
Gosford Hospital is undergoing a $348m redevelopment which includes a new 11 storey tower housing a new Special Care Nursery and Intensive Care Unit. The tower opened last month, however the full redevelopment will not be completed until late next year.
There are numerous quality schooling options in the area including Gosford and Gosford East Public Schools. Gosford High is the local secondary school, however other private options include St Edward's Christian Brothers College in Gosford (boys only) and St Joseph's Catholic College in East Gosford (girls only).
The median house price for inner Gosford (2250 postcode) is $663,000, which is up 6.8% on 12 months ago. This looks extremely affordable when compared to inner Newcastle (almost $1.3m) and Greater Sydney (just over $1m). For $660,000, you can buy a four bedroom brick home in need of a cosmetic renovation on 600sqm in Wyoming. Closer to the city in North Gosford, $770,000 will buy you a three bedroom, 2 bathroom home in reasonable condition on almost 1,000sqm! It almost seems too good to be true! These properties would rent for around $500/w as is or $550-$600/w once renovated.
The median unit price in inner Gosford is an even more affordable $482,500 (up 7% on this time last year). This will buy you an older two bedroom townhouse with parking in the prestigious Point Frederick or a spacious three bedroom, two bathroom unit (early 2000’s complex) in Gosford. Get in while you still can!

Inner West, Northern Suburbs, Hills District
With over 25 years’ experience as a qualified property valuer and buyers’ agent, Nick’s extensive knowledge of intrinsic property values and his highly personal approach to buying property ensures you peace of mind and confidence in finding the ideal property. Nick has an in-depth knowledge of Sydney’s Inner West, Northern Suburbs.
Speak to Nick"My wife and I are busy professionals and had been planning to buy our first home for years. We finally had our deposit saved when COVID hit. During this time of uncertainty we weren't sure whether to postpone our dream of buying our first home. It was at this time we decided to use a buyer's agent. We teamed up with Nick Taylor-Fick from Propertybuyer and found him to be a steady calm presence. Nick guided us through the whole process from developing our search criteria, to shortlisting options, all the way through to exchange (all of which happened within a month). He provided us with expert advice, asked the right questions and very quickly surmised what we were after. He was patient, showing us various types of houses across different locations, all the while managing our expectations. As we refined our vision, Nick found the home we wanted and negotiated everything to our satisfaction. We found him responsive and engaging, a true fount of property information. I would recommend Nick to any property novices such as ourselves!"
Why do I need a buyers’ agent?
You will save yourself money, time and stress when you engage a professional buyers’ agent to help you with your next investment property purchase. You will be empowered with the knowledge you need to make an informed decision about the value of a property without all of the sales “hype” often associated with property purchases – we protect you from making an emotional decision. You will have the benefit of our extensive research and analysis into past sales and comparable market data and will be protected from paying too much. You may also gain access to properties not yet advertised, otherwise known as “silent listings”.
Investors will gain access to our wide network of excellent investment opportunities and also get the inside knowledge of the best areas to invest. As property investors ourselves we understand the strict criteria required to buy high performing properties.
Our testimonials describe the ways we have been able to add value to our many clients. Most of our increasing client base stems from glowing referrals given by clients who have been impressed with the value and service we provide.
Does a buyers’ agent need to have a real estate background?
Is A Buyers’ Agent worth the money?
Yes! We regularly save clients far more than the fee we charge, through our understanding of the property market and our skilled negotiation techniques. We offer a fixed fee service. The advantage of the fixed fee structure is that you only pay the same fee regardless of the price of the property. There are three key areas you will get great value for money by engaging P
A buyers’ agent can save you a packet of money if they are experienced, knowledgeable and have your best interests at heart. They can take the emotion out of the negotiation and auction process and give you accurate advice on property values. They should have an extensive database of agent contacts to help you find off-market properties.
How Do I find A Buyers’ Agent?
Apart from searching online, ask a local selling agent if they have seen a good buyers agent in action. You can also ask family, friends and work colleagues about their experience with using buyers agents.
An important question to ask a buyers agent is whether they are truly “exclusive” or “independent”. If they accept sales commission from vendors or developers then they cannot be classified as “independent” as they are acting in the interests of the seller. Only deal with a licensed buyers agent (you can check license via the Office of Fair Trading in each state) and one that is a recognised member of your state Real Estate Institute and the Real Estate Buyers Agents Association of Australia.
There are seven factors to consider when selecting a good buyers agent.
Is it affordable to use a buyers’ agent?
Are buyers’ agents fees tax deductible?
Do you offer any guarantees with your service?
