Hi kate and Tony,
I agree with Jamie.
I work in the building industry and know that you will get a better value property (trying to be tactful) if you don’t go through this type of company.

If you educate yourself and negotiate well and do your due diligence.
you could go to the area that they are selling in and deal directly with the land developer and a builder yourself, go to a few builders as they are pretty competitive at the moment.

also be careful about how many lots in the one sub division they have purchased, I know of one development where they have purchased a lot of the blocks, this means you have a heck of a lot of rentals coming on the market at the same time.

There was one company not the one discussed in the previous post, emailed every builder in Sydney asking for packages with large commissions built into the price. Then emailed their list, saying they had researched the market and found the best deals in the best areas for them. needles t say I did not deal with this company.

you will pay the price of education in some way better it be not buying a not so good investment property.

cheers
Michelle
