Case Study: Helping a Family Secure a Prime Block of Land in Turramurra

Client Profile

• Location: Turramurra, Sydney
• Buyer Type: Owner-occupiers
• Goal: Purchase a large, flat block of land to build their forever home close to schools and transport

Situation

Our clients, a local family, were searching for the perfect block to build their forever home. Their requirements included:

• A flat block over 900 sqm with a minimum 18m frontage
• Located on a quiet street for a peaceful family setting
• Proximity to schools and ease of access to transport for commuting to the city

With limited availability of suitable properties in Turramurra and nearby Pymble, they engaged us to assist with due diligence, provide a tailored negotiation strategy, and secure the property without going to auction.

Challenges

The search for an ideal block in Turramurra presented unique challenges:

1. Limited Land Availability: The specific requirements for land size, frontage, and location significantly narrowed the pool of available properties.
2. Competitive Market: Properties matching the clients' brief attracted considerable interest, requiring a swift and effective negotiation strategy.
3. Time Constraints: As a busy family, they relied on us to streamline the search and handle all due diligence.

Our Approach

3. Negotiation Strategy for Immediate Purchase
   Given the competitive market, we tailored a swift negotiation strategy to avoid auction and secure the property before other interested buyers could act. With a clear timeline, we submitted an offer the same day and successfully secured the property, effectively knocking out competition.
