One of our most recent assignments took us to Ascot Vale. We were on a quest for a well-proportioned, secure two bedroom apartment in a great block, but more importantly, cafes, shops and station all needed to be in easy walking distance for our young professional home-buyer.<\/p>\n

Circling the pretty streets which run off bustling Union Road is easy, but finding a superbly finished apartment in an appealing block is no mean feat.<\/p>\n

Buyers’ Advocates circle them, investors rush for them, and first home buyers gravitate to them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We had to find one off-market if we were to avoid the competitive bidders on auction day…. and that we did.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\"2_13\"2_13\n

A lovely boutique agent in the area notified us about a listing in a great block on Munro Street. With only eight apartments in the block, a secure entrance, under-building parking and a courtyard on a 99 year lease on offer, we were excited before we even saw the property.<\/p>\n

Our client commuted to her inspection and reported in with enthusiasm. The best part for our Mentored Advocacy clients is finding a property and being able to recognise it as a winner after having had the benefit of being able to contrast it to a range of others in the same price band. Our young Mentee had not really experienced a long search, but she had canvassed enough to know that this apartment was indeed a stand-out.

The recent renovations, bonus courtyard and additional study or storage space placed this property above other recent sales in the block, so it was a very pleasant surprise when the vendor’s expectation matched that of the last sale upstairs.<\/p>\n

We signed up the offer of $475,000 swiftly and decisively, not taking any chances in tempting the vendor to run the property to market.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Wishing our lovely client years and years of capital growth out-performance and a wonderful lifestyle in her new abode.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
