Q and A
Q: What is a Published Reserve?
A: Transparency is what the owners desire by doing this, while normally a confidential number prior to an Auction, the owners have removed all the "behind the scene secrecy" of the Auction for buyers to help them get finance and be ready. If you bid $1 over the reserve on the Auction day you will be the owner subject to other bidding.
Q: Can the property be sold prior to Auction?
A: Yes
Q: Are the owners open to Early Occupancy Under Licence?
A: Yes, you can move into the home 14 days after exchange of contracts subject to an Early Occupancy agreement being entered into. This means you can move in for Christmas if you like!
Q: Can the settlement be longer then 30 days?
A: Yes
Q: Will the owners accept a 5% deposit or a deposit bond?
A: Yes with 10% at risk
Q: What would the two residences' rental income be?
A: Our Asset Management team has completed a report and believe a rental of the main home with a horse paddock would be $700 per week and the cottage with no paddock $325 per week. The land could be leased out commercially for approximately $7,500 per annum. This could generate a combined rental income of $60,800. Our short stay partners at Parbery Property have also completed a BnB short stay report which can be accessed when requested
Q: Why are Jane and Peter selling?
A: Due to age and health they want to be closer to grandchildren, hence why they have already purchased
Q: Why is the property going to Auction?
A: Because of the owners situation they require an exchange before Christmas and do not want to be held up with the shut down period of solicitors over Christmas
Q: How can I inspect the property?
