Naremburn

Client Brief vs Client Outcome:

Brief – A bright modern townhouse close to shops, transport and green parklands

With a strict deadline to meet, we secured a bright, modern townhouse for our client, who was transitioning from her North Sydney apartment. Having lived in the area for several years, she was keen to stay in the North Sydney locale. This two-level townhouse, located within walking distance to Cammeray Village and opposite parkland, offers the perfect blend of green alfresco space, natural light, and community connectivity that she desired.

Our client expected: –

to buy a two bedroom, one bathroom apartment with secure parking…we secured a three bedroom, two bathroom townhouse with direct access to its own garage.
to buy in the North Sydney locale close to shops and transport…we secured a property within walking distance to Cammeray, Naremburn and Crows Nest shops as well as buses to the CBD and new Metro stations.
to find her new home prior to the specific date when she was settling on the sale of her apartment…we were able to purchase her new property well in advance of that date

Search:

Whilst pursuing a garden apartment that met our client’s criteria, we were informed of a townhouse around the corner to it that exceeded her expectations. Thanks to our strong relationship with the agent, we secured an exclusive viewing before it hit the market and had our offer accepted within 24 hours.

Evaluate:

Being familiar with the Cammeray/Naremburn area, we knew this development well, having inspected all units sold in the complex over the past three years. We were pleased to inform our client that this was one of the best. As part of our evaluation, we conducted a thorough analysis of the strata report, noting references to maintenance issues such as roofing, waterproofing, and more. While we advised that further capital expenditure might be necessary as per any strata building, we concluded that this was a well-managed strata complex with no serious concerns.

Negotiate :

Recognizing the unique value of Unit 9, we compared recent sales in the complex and surrounding area and predicted a potential auction price. Understanding its appeal to downsizers, families, and pet owners, we acted quickly, advising our client to make a formal offer before the property went live. By leveraging our market analysis, relationship with the agent and timing, we successfully positioned our client to secure the townhouse ahead of other potential buyers
