Your guide to smart property decisions

Whether you're buying your first home, upgrading, or investing, the type of property you choose should reflect your lifestyle, future plans, and financial goals. Are you planning to live in the property or rent it out? Each scenario calls for a different approach.

If you're planning to move in, consider:

How many people will live in the home, and whether that may change over time
The current and future needs of everyone in your household
Access to local amenities — schools, shops, transport, parks
Your work-life balance and how your home location supports it
How long you expect to stay in the property
Which features are essential, and which are "nice to have"

Start by making a checklist of your priorities — this will help guide your search and highlight where you might need to compromise. Discuss your goals with anyone involved in the purchase to ensure you're all on the same page.

Understanding the buying process

It’s important to know that real estate agents are engaged by the seller — they’re working to get the best outcome for their client.

That said, at Marsh Real Estate, we pride ourselves on offering a transparent, supportive experience for buyers too.

We’re here to help you find the right property that fits both your needs and your budget.

Know What You Can Afford

Before diving into your property search, it's essential to get clear on your borrowing capacity. We can connect you with trusted local finance professionals who offer access to a wide range of loan products — often with a free, no-obligation consultation.

They’ll help you understand:

How much you can borrow
What lenders are offering
All associated fees and charges

Reach out to us and we’ll introduce you to someone who can help make your next move financially smooth.

Explore What’s On The Market

With so many properties available, narrowing down your options is key. Once you’ve defined what you want and what you can afford, you’re in a strong position to act confidently.

We recommend:

Browsing real estate websites
Exploring the local area
Registering for property alerts
Attending open homes and auctions

This will give you a feel for the market, property values, and buyer activity — and soon, you’ll know when the right home comes along.

Get the right advice

Buying property involves legal and regulatory steps that vary by location. It’s always wise to engage a solicitor or conveyancer early to guide you through contracts, certificates, and disclosures. Some information must be provided by the seller, but other important details may need to be requested — a good legal professional will make sure nothing gets missed.
