Services
Buyer advocacy
With little knowledge of how Melbourne’s auction or private sale system operates, buyers are too often left to fend for themselves when they approach purchasing property.
Whether you’re looking for a residential or commercial investment, get more for your money with Richard’s services.
Vendor advocacy
If you’re selling your property, we know there’s nothing more important than getting the best return on investment.
From negotiating the best sale price, terms and conditions to pre-sale maintenance services and much more, let Richard help you achieve the most successful sale outcome for your property.
Downsizing
If your home is too big for what you need, takes a lot to maintain or costs a fortune in rates, you may be considering downsizing.
It’s never easy to move on from the family home, which is why Richard specialises in helping you find the right property for your needs.
Advice for property investors
Whether you are looking for residential or commercial investment, location, independent research and comprehensive due diligence are the keys.
Establishing value in any market environment can be difficult. Reliable comparable sales information is of vital importance. Properties used for comparison must be genuinely comparable with:
- Size, both building and land,
- Location and position with regard to amenity,
- Type of construction, and
- Access
All these factors must be taken into account to determine a correct market price.
Other factors to consider include:
- Should the property become vacant, will it be easily re-leased and for how much?
- for residential property, proximity to transport, shops, schools and recreational facilities
- for commercial property, proximity of target markets, transport routes, staff access
- Residential investors usually look for capital gains due to low yields, with the landlord responsible for all outgoings, including council rates, water and sewerage, owners corporation fees and maintenance
- Commercial investors look for yield, which will usually determine purchase price and can vary greatly depending on the type of property and use
For both residential and commercial, settlement terms and deposit are negotiable by agreement.
Richard can negotiate all aspects of investment property acquisition so you have peace of mind about acquiring the best income-producing asset for your portfolio.
Commercial lease negotiations
We also specialise in commercial lease negotiations for offices, shops, warehousing and industrial. We can act for both Tenants and Landlords.
Our most popular services are:
- to negotiate leases on properties
- to source property to your requirements,
- to lease your existing property to a sitting, or new, tenant at arms length.
We fully analyse comparable market leasing rates to negotiate the most attractive rental figure for you together with conditions, term, lease incentives, and lessor contributions to fitouts.
Favourable lease options are sought for security, and depending upon the term of the lease, significant concessions can be negotiated by way of fit out contributions and rent reductions.
This comprehensive service can save you time, money and stress. This allows you and your team to focus your attention and resources on your “core business”.
