Sinead, a first home buyer, wanted a property that matched her lifestyle in Sydney’s inner west, an area she had come to love for years. Her goals were clear: She wanted something affordable, in her preferred location, and without major strata issues.
The journey began with some disappointment, after missing out at auction on a property that ticked every box. On top of that, the continued search revealed that many apartments carried strata concerns that made them less viable as first home purchases.
We then found a 1 bedroom unit on Constitution Road, Dulwich Hill, which offered a seamless flow and, most importantly, a strata report with manageable concerns. With our due diligence, we determined the risks were minimal compared to the value on offer, and that it stacked up as a strong opportunity for Sinead’s first purchase.
The property was being marketed for auction and had already generated strong buyer interest at open homes. To avoid the unpredictability of auction day, we stepped in to negotiate on Sinead’s behalf. By leveraging our market knowledge, understanding of the vendor’s position, and clear valuation strategy, we secured the property in a pre auction deal, eliminating competition and ensuring peace of mind.
Sinead is now the proud owner of her first home in Dulwich Hill, an apartment that not only suits her lifestyle but also offers long term value. What started with auction heartbreak ended in a smart, pre auction success story that set her up in the suburb she loves.
