Buying in Hobart
How we buy investment property in Hobart
We start with what you want the property to do, then test Hobart against every other market that fits your budget, so you know it's the right place before we search it. When it is, we search on and off market, have every shortlisted property inspected in person, negotiate with the selling agent and manage the contract through to settlement.

Buying investment property from Hobart
Hobart is a small market by mainland standards, and investors who live here often know it well. The challenge is that a small market has fewer sales, fewer suitable properties at any one time and fewer buyers when you come to sell. For some briefs Hobart is a good fit; for others, the same budget gives more choice in a larger city. Investors here also tend to be familiar with how quickly the local market can change direction, which is a good reason to check any purchase against more than one market. A decision made with the wider picture in view is easier to stand behind later.
We look at both before you decide. If you buy locally, we assess each property on its condition, its land and its rental demand, not just the view. If you buy interstate, we run the purchase from our Sydney office and keep you informed through online meetings, video walk-throughs and a written report on every shortlisted property.
In-person inspections are arranged before you commit. We coordinate the contract, your conveyancer, your broker and the building and pest inspection, and you stay in control of every decision.
A small, tightly held market
Fewer listings and fewer sales mean we weigh resale depth as carefully as the purchase price.
Older housing stock
Many homes are older timber or brick, so condition, heating and insulation are checked before an offer.
Interstate options
We compare Hobart with other markets on the same brief, so the choice of location is deliberate.
Handled remotely
Online meetings, video walk-throughs and arranged inspections mean you can buy anywhere without flying.

How much does a buyers agent cost in Hobart?
Do you only buy investment property in Hobart?
How much is stamp duty on an investment property in Hobart?
How much money do I need to start?
You need a minimum of $100,000 in cash or equity, and our minimum purchase price is $400,000.
Should I buy now or should I wait?
It depends on your finances, borrowing capacity and goals more than on timing the market. Waiting has a cost if well-chosen property keeps rising, and buying has risks if it stretches your finances. On the discovery call we look at your position and tell you honestly whether buying now makes sense for you.
What is the average price of the properties you buy?
We source properties from $400,000, our minimum purchase price. The final price depends on your personalised strategy and goals.
How long does the process take from the discovery call?
If you qualify to work with us, the next step will be a 45-minute Strategy Session with one of our advisors. From here, it takes 4 to 12 weeks from signing up to settlement, depending on your criteria, goals, and strategic brief.
Do you recommend accountants, brokers, property managers, lawyers, and tax agents?
Yes, we have recommendations for all of those partners. As part of our service, we find the right team for you, and your property depending on the location of the investment. We handle the admin so that this is seamless for you.
What happens if I don't like the property that you present?
Typically, this does not happen since we spend so much time at the start of the journey developing a plan and understanding your needs and how they will fit into your property portfolio. When we create a Strategic Brief, we are extremely clear about the results and do not deliver any properties that do not fit that brief. We typically look at 60 properties before we present the ONE to you. So you can be sure, we are sure.
