Acquisition standards

Each dwelling is assessed against title integrity, building condition, planning constraints and hold-cost sustainability. Strata acquisitions include inspection of levies, capital works schedules and by-laws. Torrens acquisitions confirm easements, stormwater and any unapproved structures before exchange.

Letting and maintenance

Leased properties are managed through licensed agents with director approval on lease terms and material works. Insurance covers building, landlord liability and loss of rent where applicable. Capex above pre-set thresholds requires board resolution.

Disposal

Properties are sold through licensed agents when strategy or portfolio balance requires a change in holding. Disposal timing considers CGT record-keeping, tenant notice periods and market liquidity in the local corridor.

Common questions

Residential property — FAQ

What property types does the company acquire?

Detached dwellings on torrens title and townhouses or villas on strata title in metropolitan and regional NSW. The company does not acquire vacant land for speculative subdivision unless tied to a documented development joint venture.

What due diligence is required before exchange?

Standard conveyancing searches, building and pest inspection, planning certificate and — for strata — a strata inspection report covering levies, insurance and capital works. Flood, bushfire and heritage overlays are reviewed where mapping indicates exposure.

Does the company accept third-party management of tenancies?

Yes. Licensed residential property managers handle marketing, leasing, rent collection and routine inspections. The director retains approval rights on lease terms, major maintenance and capital expenditure.

How long are residential assets typically held?

Holding periods commonly exceed five years. Disposal is considered when planning changes materially affect use, cumulative capex exceeds thresholds, or portfolio rebalancing requires redeploying equity into other sectors.
