As a buyers' agent who
refuses to pay too much for a property I certainly have! In fact, far too frequently lately. I wanted to get to the bottom of the reason why
and have spoken to numerous agents and consultants and I have come up with a few conclusions.]]></post_content_short>

    <post_content_short><![CDATA[This recently completed development by our clients Sonia and Glen was a fantastic success, with over $700,000 or 32% equity gain being achieved – a brilliant result in the current market from a 5 townhouse development. How they have achieved this isn’t simply the result of getting one thing right, but a combination of buying well, knowing the rules (and more importantly what rules could be broken!), good design and a fantastic valuation at the end. There are many lessons in this for both beginner and experienced investors.]]></post_content_short>
