Are you interested in a Development Site?

 

If you’re a property developer you’ll know how important it is to make the right choices at just the right time when buying Australian real estate. Propertybuyer has been assisting property developers with these tough decisions for over two decades and we're able to source the right development sites in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, and through our buyers agent network in Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Hobart and Darwin.

Finding potential development sites that deliver a reasonable profit and meet minimum rates of return is difficult in today’s market, but with our extensive insider’s knowledge of Australian property we assist experienced developers and real estate investors in finding and negotiating the purchase of developments which will offer the best return on investment.

Most of the commercial and residential development sites we’ve found in the past have not been advertised to the general public;.  These off-market opportunities are sourced through our extensive agent and opportunities direct with vendors which gives our clients the winning edge.

As a property developer in Australia it is important to get good quality, independent advice before committing to a purchase. You must know your feasibility backwards before you start, otherwise it is a recipe for financial trouble. Our role in the development process is to find the best options to suit your property development strategy and help you avoid development sites which simply don't stack up. We can also provide referrals to other key service providers including builders, engineering consultants, quantity surveyors, valuers, town planners, land economic consultants and project managers.

Bradley's Story - Northern Suburbs Developer

Buyer's Brief: 

Seeking a property which will offer quick capital gain via value adding e.g. subdivision.

Our goal:

I wanted to improve my (our family’s) equity position and build a property portfolio via subdivision. While I was prepared and had done it before, the time and distraction from my core business was frustrating. I was worried about the time committed to finding the right site and then to do the due diligence to make an educated decision.

Solution:

Propertybuyer had a logical approach and developed a strategy with our end goal in mind. I feel positive about the development I am entering into and I’m looking forward to taking on another one. From an ROI point of view, it makes sense. I go to a doctor to cure my illness and I go to propertybuyer to find property.

“I go to a doctor to cure my illness and I go to Propertybuyer to find property.”

Bradley E, Recruitment Consultant

Buyer's Agent's Comments:

Brad and Alicia had a 3 year plan to move to the area of their liking while building a portfolio at the same time.  We were able to structure enough equity to gain a duplex and by strata titling, allowed the profit to move forward with the next property in their portfolio while allocating some equity to their dream home.

Ian H, Developer

“We’re a boutique residential developer and have completed several projects with Rich and his team who provided expert and professional input at several stages through the process. Typically, we met with Rich and identify geographical markets which we want to target and then narrow down the brief of specifically what criteria a potential development opportunity has to fulfill to fit within our business model. As a result of the scoping process, Rich then puts forward multiple prospects for us to consider – in the several cases where Property Buyer has successfully sourced development sites for us, that process has taken significantly less time than would be the case if we had undertaken the role ourselves. The consequent savings of time and internal resource for us has been significant.

We regularly consult with Property Buyer throughout the design process and discuss likely rental returns and expected end investment values of all of our projects. This better ensures that we are positioning our product to as best as possible, match the investment criteria of Property Buyer’s data base of investors – Rich and the team then have a detailed knowledge of our product which allows them to secure off-the-plan and on-completion sales for us. We’ve always found Property Buyer to be a professional and valuable partner in our projects and are looking forward to working with them on future projects.”

The process has taken significantly less time…if we had undertaken the role ourselves.”
