Here are three of the many case studies.
Confirmed a build envelope for a family home site, bought for $100k under
We’ve known Daniel for years. He’s a successful director with multiple companies under his belt and a busy schedule pushing past 70 hours a week. Above all, though, he’s a family man—with three young kids and a clear priority: to secure the ideal home where they could grow up.
He discovered a block in a tucked-away pocket of his favourite suburb. It looked perfect at first glance, but zoning restrictions, established trees, the slope of the land, and dual street frontages all raised questions. What could actually be built here? And just as importantly—what was it worth?
We got to work straight away, consulting with arborists and town planners to assess development potential, then created a series of rough “mud maps” to show how setbacks might impact a future build. We also carefully analysed local market trends, reviewed comparable sales, and spoke with trusted agents in the area to determine a fair and realistic value.
The vendors had initially been hoping for around $1.80m. At auction, it passed in with a vendor bid of $1.730m, and six weeks later—still no offers. A price shift was brewing, and after a quiet word with the selling agent, he confirmed he was about to suggest just that. Before the change went public, we moved quickly with a firm, unconditional offer of $1.635m. It was accepted.
Daniel and his wife have since built a remarkable home for their family. He was kind enough to say this about the experience:
“We’d been looking for a block to build our forever family home. The help Andrew provided in determining the site’s market value, assessing the design constraints, and negotiating the purchase (at $100k less than we were willing to pay!) proved invaluable. Quality service.”
We’ve known Ross, a seasoned builder, for years. When a motivated vendor brought this off-market site to my attention, we got on the line to Ross straight away and ripped into a feasibility.
The local council here has always been a tough one for planning approvals, especially around trees and drainage. But we’d had past success there and understood their priorities. An arborist was on site within 24 hours, and our drainage engineer quickly clarified the legal point of discharge and other requirements.
After discussing the site with a town planner, we settled on a three-townhouse concept with two crossovers. The layout would work around two significant trees and include ground-floor master suites at the front and rear.
We negotiated hard and secured the property for $979k with a long settlement, giving Ross plenty of breathing room. He managed the planning and design himself but kept us in the loop and often sought a second opinion.
He timed it really well, decided to sell the site with permits, and redirected the capital into another project.
Purchased for $2.000m in a high-growth pocket of a rapidly developing suburb, this site came with a feasibility already complete, making it a smart, ready-to-go acquisition.
Adjacent to an improving Activity Centre Zone, the property sits on a flat block with dual street frontages and strong long-term development potential. If you're a high-income professional, particularly in the medical field, this type of investment offers appeal. Up to 90% LVR is often achievable, and negative gearing can help reduce your tax burden while building a diverse portfolio.
In this case, the buyers loved the suburb's vibrant feel and knew people locally. They saw the area's gentrification as a clear signal of future value. We ran our own analysis and believed the property was underquoted at $1.80m to $1.90m, estimating fair market value closer to $2.1m.
The agent was transparent. The vendors were motivated beneficiaries of a deceased estate and preferred to avoid the auction. When asked what would secure it, he said a clean $2.0m offer on standard terms. We made that offer, and it was accepted in under two weeks, before most buyers had a chance to inspect.
Overall, it was a great outcome that came from sharp timing, strong fundamentals, and a clear value-add path.
As you can see, we’ve helped countless clients from all walks of life to find the perfect opportunity and achieve real, tangible success. However, as a first-time homebuyer, it’s certainly easy to fall into an investment trap. Luckily, they’re all avoidable if you partner with the right property expert.
