Best Buyers Agency of the year - 2025
Circa: $1.1M
Client Type: Investor The Buyer’s Background: Lachlan is an investor working in the construction industry, seeking to maximise long-term value through a strategic property acquisition. His goal was to secure a site with both immediate rental income and future subdivision potential. The Challenges: He required a large, development-suitable site with strong holding income while navigating time constraints and needing expert guidance on suburb selection and due diligence. Market changes, including potential impacts to negative gearing, created urgency and risk around borrowing capacity. The Buyer’s Brief: He targeted properties within a $1.05m–$1.2m budget, requiring a dwelling generating ~$880/week on a site suitable for a future 1 into 3 subdivision. Key criteria included appropriate zoning, large land size (~1,800m²+), and no major constraints such as flooding or encumbrances. The Outcome: An off-market property was secured for $1.1m, offering superior upside with potential for a 1 into 4 subdivision—exceeding the original brief. The deal included negotiated savings and pre-settlement works, delivering strong immediate value and long-term development potential.
