    Hi

    I am thinking of buying an IP in Perth. since I live interstate, I am looking for a buyers agent to help me with the purchase. Is there any that you would recommend ? 

    is it better to buy a house or a unit in Perth for the price range $ 500-700K ?

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi Jer,

    There are a number of BA in Perth. Some of the more reputable ones seem to be (in no particular order) Hegney's, Momentum & Property Wizards. I haven't used any of them so I cannot comment first hand on them or their BA services or costs.

    Unit V House is one of the perennially debated questions surrounding property investing. There are those who can mount an equally good case for both. The best answer will revolve around your long term goals and what you are trying to achieve.

    Fundamentally Perth seems to be making the right signals with current stock levels reportedly below long term averages and vacancy rates dropping. On top of this the forecast supply of englobo land over the next 10 years is well below requirements. Combine these factors and it tends to suggest there may be some brighter lights on the horizon for the Perth property market.

    If you are looking in Perth then use the major transport arteries as a starting point. Pretty safe.

    I purchased with Property Wizards and though it was my first buy with nothing else to compare to, I'd say over all was a good experience, especially given that I was working overseas for the majority of the search/inspect/offer period. Could have been much worse I imagine.
