PurchaseSmart

Are you looking to purchase a property to renovate or build on?

Are you interested in how you could make your potential home more sustainable?

Do you want to understand the cost of renovating a property before putting in an offer?

Are you considering purchasing a house or land and don’t know what you’re allowed to build?

Do you want to know what permits you would need to extend or build new?

Do you have your eye on a property but are unsure whether it lends itself to a renovation?

If you answered YES to any of these questions then we can help.

There’s opportunity everywhere, so let’s visit your prospective property together and discover what’s possible.

PurchaseSmart gives you a well rounded understanding of a property’s potential within the context of your budget, relevant planning codes, and existing site conditions, giving you confidence before making any offer or appearing at auction.

PurchaseSmart is conducted over three stages:

Brief + investigation
We’ll hear your goals for the property, and conduct a desktop review of your property to investigate existing conditions, planning codes and building code constraints. We may reach out to briefly discuss particular challenges you’ve raised, clarify your requirements, or answer questions.

Site visit + meeting
We’ll walk through the property with you and then sit down for a dynamic discussion and exploration of your potential project. Together, we’ll brainstorm opportunities in the context of planning requirements and sustainable design, and explore the budget, enabling an in-depth analysis of the options open to you.

Review + report
We’ll review and summarise what we’ve discovered. We’ll suggest 'project cost' and 'construction cost' forecasts, and provide a breakdown of the opportunities and limitations the property presents.

By the end of the process you’ll gain a greater understanding of whether a property is right for you before making an offer or appearing at auction.

Regardless of the house value or the nature of your questions, PurchaseSmart is provided for an all inclusive once off cost of $1,500 + GST.

Please note: PurchaseSmart is not a property or building inspection, and does not deliver a design solution.

We’ll meet you at the property for a walk-through and head to a local cafe afterwards. The site visit and meeting will take approximately 90 minutes.

We can’t wait to meet you and discover what solutions will work best for you!
