Will this property work for you, now and when you sell?

01 · Price

SSafe entry price

What supports the price you’re paying?

A home can fit your budget and still be expensive compared with your alternatives. We compare recent transactions, similar units and the other developments you could buy. Facing, floor level, layout and condition help explain whether a higher asking price is justified.

Your total purchase cost matters too. Stamp duties, renovations and other buying costs affect how much cash you’ll have left. We consider those costs alongside the price, so you understand what you’re committing to.

“Safe” describes the price assessment. Property prices can fall, and the framework cannot guarantee that you’ll avoid a loss.

02 · Future demand

TTrigger for growth

Why might someone pay more for this home later?

We need a reason that relates to this property and its likely buyers. That could involve a change in the area, limited alternatives at the same price, or a layout that serves a particular household well.

A planned improvement may already be reflected in today’s price. We check what has been announced, what remains uncertain and what comparable homes cost. You should understand what could support a higher resale price and what could prevent it.

03 · Your next buyer

EExit strategy

Who might buy this from you?

Picture the household who could want your unit. What space would they need? What might they afford? What else could they buy nearby? The answers help us assess whether your home has reasons to stand out when you sell.

We also consider the units that could compete with yours. Similar layouts, future completions and a shorter remaining lease can affect the choices available to your next buyer. An attractive purchase needs a resale plan you can explain.

04 · Your timeline

PPeriod of Holding

How long can you realistically keep the property?

A home you expect to keep for five years needs a different assessment from one you intend to live in much longer. We consider your likely move date, the costs of buying and selling, and whether your finances allow you to wait.

For an investment, rental income and periods without a tenant also matter. For your own home, family changes may bring your next move forward. The recommendation should account for the time you actually have.

05 · Living in the home

SSpace for daily living

Does the space suit the people who’ll use it?

Square footage alone won’t tell you whether the layout suits your household. We look at bedroom sizes, storage, places to work and whether the family can use the rooms comfortably.

A large balcony may be worth paying for if you’ll use it often. If you need another bedroom, that same floor area may serve you better indoors. We compare the layout with your household’s needs and the price of alternatives.
