We all know it’s possible to DIY as a property investor. But do you have the confidence to know how to pick an outstanding property in a great location, before it’s even been built? Do you have the time to do the research to find out?
How we select properties
Our rigorous due diligence and research process is designed to simplify the property selection process for you, so you can quickly identify a quality property which meets your criteria.
Our property selection process
Selecting the right investment property can be difficult on your own, with so many factors to consider and assess. Our property and research team investigate a range of factors as well as relying on our own ‘off-market’ intel and expertise.
Off the plan
Developers who share our passion for delivering properties of an exceptional quality
Award winning developers
A strong track record of delivering outstanding, and even award-winning properties.
New or near new
The right type of property for the right area at an affordable price point
Properties approved by That Property Chick
- Ready to move in: Our speciality is ‘off-the-plan’: beautiful properties that require no additional effort from you and are ready for your tenant to move in.
- Owner-occupier appeal: We want to ensure the property appeals to a high-calibre tenant and a future owner-occupier – consider who will pay a lot more money in future if you decide to sell?
- Commitment to quality: We partner exclusively with developers who have a legacy of delivering quality. We’ve been in the market a long time, so we can spot opportunities that others can’t.
- Location, location: Two of our overall strategies include ‘infill’ – filling a gap in established suburbs – and ‘urban renewal’ areas. We’re looking for properties that offer value for our buyers in areas that are poised for growth.
- A good brand: We know it’s important to work with a range of industry-leading developers – public and private developers with a strong brand reputation.
- Detailed research: The key is finding the right development in the right area. We have a rigorous selection process that’s backed by continuing research and market analysis.
Why we would reject a property
Our brand reputation means we can be highly selective when it comes to choosing which developers we partner with and which properties we recommend to our investors.
In reviewing a development, we’re considering many factors, including location and convenience, comparable pricing, size, fixtures and fittings, view lines, floorplans. And of course the developer: what’s their track record, which builder are they using, what’s their strategy to ensure the development gets off the ground successfully? We typically reject the majority of properties we analyse.
Pricing
Does the property represent good value for our buyers? There may be a great developer, architect and builder behind it, but if we believe it’s over-valued, we’ll reject it.
The floorplan
Has the property been designed for liveability? If the developer can’t tell us where to put the TV or the sofa, we know they don’t care much about the buyer or future resident.
Track record
What else has the developer delivered? If they have a poor track record, either in terms of getting the development built, or the quality of the build, we are not interested.
