Can I buy a research report without the full service?
Yes. That is our Silver Service. Some experienced house hunters are familiar with the whole purchase process and only need our research reports, as they do not have access to the relevant internet platforms, which are mostly on subscription basis to real estate professionals.
What goes into the research
- Suburb & Surrounding Area: Prices, Rents, Yields, Amenities, Schools, Transport.
- Due Diligence: Fire & Flood Zones, Heritage Conservation Areas, Noise, Environmental Protection and Public Housing.
- Demographics: Employment Rate, Median Income, Affordability Index, Household Composition, Rent/Own Ratio, Population Growth Index.
- Location Analysis: Market Outlook Pros and Cons, Investment and Buying Strategies, Supply and Demand.
- Value: a Comparative Market Analysis of the property's potential market value, plus historical data for the property and the area.
- For investors: a Property Investment Analysis.
We use trusted online platforms and the latest AI technology to gather this information.
What due diligence covers
Property research requires careful consideration and analysis. When you go further than the report, due diligence means building and pest reports or strata reports, and a review of the Contract for Sale with your legal representative.
With the Platinum and Gold services we also inspect the property in person. Harold's background in the building industry helps identify potential property issues before purchase, so you can make an informed decision.
Which service do you need?
- Silver: research reports only. You do the search, inspection and purchase.
- Gold: research plus inspection, strategy and negotiation or auction bidding. See auction and negotiation.
- Platinum: you found the property; we handle steps 2 to 4.
- Diamond: the whole process, from brief to settlement. See home buyer's agent.
