Type of Purchaser: Downsizer

Property Story: After these wonderful clients sold their family home and bought a farm they needed a Sydney Bolthole to stay in whilst working and travelling in and out of Sydney.

Mosman

Type of Property:  Luxury Apartment

Type of Purchaser: Downsizers

Property Story: This downsizing family had a very clear brief. They wanted a lock-up and go apartment in a modern block, located on Balmoral Slopes. They wanted good proximity to Mosman Village and the property needed to have wonderful water views plus an outdoor entertaining area. 

 

Balmoral Slopes units are tightly held so we inspected as many as possible, most of which were off-market units. This gave our clients a good understanding of market dynamics, pricing, the size of units and the different water and district views on offer. Armed with this knowledge, we moved quickly once we identified their ideal home.  We found the right one and inspected it prior to it coming on the market. We efficiently conducted our due diligence and negotiated the purchase within one week of its official market listing. Our pro-active approach pre-empted other buyers who lacked the time to conduct their due diligence and compete with our offer. Our clients secured the property and are very happy.  

 

 

Darling Point Road, Darling Point

Type of Property:  Executive Apartment

The criteria included a premium location in a quality neighbourhood, a peaceful and leafy ambiance, proximity to amenities, and easy public transportation access to the CBD, within 30 minutes. After a thorough search, Darling Point emerged as the ideal suburb meeting all these criteria and with the additional advantage of the Darling Point ferry, arguably the best way to travel to the CBD.  

 

We identified the perfect unit and successfully negotiated the purchase prior to auction for our happy clients. As an added benefit we negotiated the purchase of all the furniture so they could move in and enjoy immediately.

Moruben Road, Mosman

Type of Property:  Apartment

Type of Purchaser: Investor

In order to achieve strong capital gained, we identified that the property needed to have something uniquely desirable as well as be in a premium location. While we looked at properties in multiple suburbs, we identified Balmoral Slopes in Mosman as the ideal location to secure such a property. We found an off-market art deco unit in a small block of 6 with Balmoral Beach views. The property had a secure tenant in place who wanted to stay as well as upside potential with DA plans already approved for this building. Our clients were thrilled as they achieved both their desires of potential capital gains and a reliable rental income.
