Shellbank Avenue, Mosman

Type of Property: Waterfront home with boating facilities

Type of Purchaser: Owner Occupier

Property Story: This lovely family specifically wanted a north facing waterfront home with deep water boating facilities in one of three lower north shore suburbs. Their requirements were very clear which made their property search straightforward as well as difficult as there were only a small number of homes that fit this brief.  However, they were prepared to wait for the right home. We identified several off-market homes as well as on-market properties and finally identified a lovely home that met all their requirements. We then negotiated the purchase in a very complex negotiation and secured them their dream home.

Type of Purchaser: Expats Moving Back To Australia  

Property Story: We helped this lovely expat family find and secure their new family home. We firstly needed to help them determine where they wanted to live. After starting with a broad brief, we refined it to what was most important for them – the amenity of the house and the lifestyle it provided. We identified that Balmoral Beach was an area they wanted to utilize and we focused our attention there.   

 

We purchased a beautiful off-market home, only footsteps from Balmoral Beach and local cafes. This quality home was highly sought after by other buyers. We were delighted to have secured it for our happy clients before it was publicly listed on the market.

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.

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.

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.
