Frequently asked questions:

Tenants - How do I get a decent tenant in the Western suburbs or regional areas?
To mitigate the risk of a bad tenant we handpick the best property managers for the area. We also negotiate a discounted management fee for our clients. The property manager will carry out a thorough reference check including current employment of any prospective tenant. By giving these agents volume we make sure only the best quality tenant will be successful and our clients receive great service. We also strongly advise clients to purchase landlord insurance to cover any damage and/or loss of rent. We also carry out renovations if necessary to ensure the property is high quality and will attract the right tenant. The vacancy rate has been under 1% for the last 12 months and most homes we buy already have a tenant in place.
Capital Growth - Is there any potential for capital in these areas?
The areas we have identified have been growing at an average of 8% per year. The market peaked in 2003 and then bottomed out in 2007. Clients who purchase now are in a great position to see steady growth over the next 5-10 years. This has been confirmed by independent research analysts (Residex and SQM) along with our own company research which looks at growth drivers such as diverse employment and facilities. The surrounding suburbs have new house & land packages selling for $450K and we are buying for around half that figure (on larger blocks).
Property types - Is the granny flat attached to the house or is there a separate entrance?
We construct the granny flat in the backyard and ensure it is totally separate from the home. We use colorbond fencing to separate the dwellings and they have separate utilities (power/water). Where possible we create a separate entrance and create a parking spot for the granny flat.
How much are the properties typically worth?
At present we are buying from $220K - $300K depending on the suburb and condition of the property. Fully completed 1 bedroom flats cost $75K (including all fees and council approval) and 2 bedroom flats cost $100K however this may vary slightly depending on the site and options chosen by the client. Rental for flats start at $220 per week and can reach up to $300 per week.
Can you look after the whole process for me?
Yes, we have a network of professionals to handle every aspect of the purchase & construction, including any renovations the property may require. This includes the council application, builder, managing agent, depreciation, solicitor, finance and insurance. We only recommend quality people based on previous work they have done for our clients and we receive no referral payments from any third parties. Our service continues even after a tenant is found and we are always available to assist should the need arise.
Are there many traps for the unwary in buying a house and constructing a granny flat?
There are certain things we look for when selecting a property, in fact we have a 20 point checklist to ensure the property we buy is suitable for a flat to be built. We have never had a situation where a flat could not be built however if you buy the wrong property this is a real possibility. We utilize our network of agents to make sure we only source the best deals and only buy the ones we can secure under market value, saving our clients money as well as time.
What is the quality of the granny flats? Will they last?
The flats are built by our licenced builder on site – not a kit home delivered on a truck. We use quality materials designed to last a life time including a steel sub floor, laminate flooring and colorbond roof. All walls are insulated, the bathroom has tiled floor & walls and includes a space for a washing machine. The foundations are steel posts in a concrete footing so the flat can be removed should the client decide to redevelop in the future – the flat can be moved to another property or sold. All flats carry Home Warranty Insurance for a period of 7 years.
How much does it cost to engage propertybuyer to manage the whole process for me?
There are 2 fees applicable -
$9,900 inc gst for sourcing and negotiating the purchase of the property and a project management fee of 10% for any renovation and/or granny flat. Typically for a 1 bedroom flat the fee is $6,600 inc gst and $8,800 inc gst for a 2 bedroom flat. We have negotiated significant savings with our preferred builders and pass these savings on to you. Our fees are tax deductible for investors as they form part of the cost base of the acquisition.
Can I speak to a couple of your previous clients?
Yes, we always have several clients available to discuss their experience with propertybuyer to give you an impartial reference if required. We can also show you properties recently purchased with granny flat construction underway.
Why shouldn’t I do this on my own?
We have established relationships with sales agents in these areas and get first pick of properties that come up for sale (and off market opportunities). We also know the tricks of the trade in negotiating the best price with these agents. Some investors have tried to buy on their own in an unfamiliar market and ended up paying too much, over-capitalising or buying a property on which a granny flat cannot be built. There are a few critical items that determine whether a granny flat will be a complying development (in which case we get approval in 10 days) or whether a Development Application needs to be lodged (which can take 3 months and result in extensive delays or at worst a refusal!).

The other key reason to engage propertybuyer is to save time dealing with tradesman. Doing it yourself means supervising, regular site visits, negotiating prices and keeping the builder on schedule which can be a very stressful experience. Our streamlined process means you get a custom designed granny flat purpose built for tenants which will maximise your rental income.
