Investment Property
Buying an investment property can be a hugely significant part of building wealth and security for your future. At Cavendish Group we have helped many individuals and families successfully purchase an investment property, both as a stand-alone property or as part of a larger investment property portfolio.
Our principal, Ellen Keble, has extensive experience of purchasing investment properties, in both the UK and in Australia. An investment property can help to improve your cashflow, provide tax benefits and help build long-term future wealth. We will share with you our tried and tested purchasing strategies that have worked so well for many of our past and present clients, starting with a step-by-step plan of action tailored to your own unique situation. Once we understand your objectives and your aspirations for you and your family, we will work with you to achieve your goals.
Melbourne is considered one of the world’s most liveable cities and is much sought after as a location for property investments. At Cavendish, we have the requisite local knowledge to find the right property for you. We work within our established networks of real estate agents, property owners and other contacts in the industry, both on and off market, to ensure that we always stay at least one step ahead in our search for exactly the right property for you. In addition, we have extensive agreements and associations with experts in the fields of law and conveyancing, property funding, financial planning, property development and accounting to ensure that any property-related requirements you may have can be promptly met.
On a daily basis, when working on your behalf, we will provide up-to-date industry research and property comparative analysis as well as arrange private viewings on selected properties for you. We also check out potential properties and locations before recommending properties for you to view. In this way we will save you time and money that might otherwise be spent on viewing unsuitable properties.
With investment properties, our approach is “numbers first”. This is an investment and financial decision, so it is vital that the financial outlay and expected returns stack up before viewing any property. So, whether you buy one or more investment properties with us we will guide you through the entire process from our first strategy meeting right through to settlement and beyond to help you grow your portfolio further as your property equity grows.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Buyers Agent?
A Buyers Agents (or Buyers Advocate) is a licensed real estate agent who, for a fee, acts for the buyer instead of the seller, and specialiss in searching for, evaluating and negotiating the purchase of property on behalf of the buyer.
Is a Buyers Agent the same as a Property Finder?
Essentially yes. There are several terms for a buying agent, but they all perform the same essential function. Other terms for a buying agent include;
- Property finder
- Property search agent
- Buyers agent
- Buyers representative
Can a Buyers Agent find properties off-market?
Experienced buyers agents, such as Cavendish Group, have an extensive knowledge of the property market and excellent networking relationships with many selling agents and vendors. In this way, Cavendish will often hear that a property is coming to market even before it has been passed to a nominated selling agent or been listed for sale by the agent. In such cases, we will approach the vendors’ agent on behalf of a client directly.
Who pays the Buyers Agent
The buyer pays the Buyers Agent their fixed fee or commission, as they are acting on behalf of the buyer. This applies regardless of whether the property is being sold privately by the homeowner or through a licensed Real Estate Agent, as the Buyers Agent should have no affiliation with the seller or their agent.
Can a Buyers Agent provide a valuation of a property?
Most Buyers Agents, including Cavendish, will offer an in-house market appraisal and valuation of the property you are interested in buying. In this way you can understand the true value of the property and not just rely on the listed selling price or the vendors price expectations. There are research platforms and past sales in the area which will give an indication of the price of the properties in the area. For example Price Finder, Core Logic and the most recent sales of properties sold at auction or sold privately will be recorded and will give an indication of what the property should be worth.
Can a Buyers Agent negotiate the purchase on my behalf?
Yes, at Cavendish our role is to guide you through the whole process of searching for, inspecting and purchasing a property. This includes the price negotiation phase where we will negotiate on your behalf to ensure you achieve the lowest possible purchase price for the property.

Rene Bucket
Ellen is a true professional. Not only is she dedicated, but most of all she is extremely passionate about her work and the superior service she provides to both her direct clients and business partners.
Having helped me throughout my own search for the right residential home for me and my family, I cannot express enough how much I recommend Ellen's services as an invaluable asset to your own or your client's property purchases.
Emily and Delvin
We were first-time home buyers and, after our strategy meeting with Ellen, we were confident that she understood our situation and was well versed with the market conditions in our chosen area.
Ellen co-ordinated all the viewings and had a great relationship with the agents. Once we had decided which property we wanted, Ellen was able to keep within our budget and, despite strong competition, was able to negotiate the right price for us.
Ellen is friendly but has a very professional approach to her work and with an astute attention to detail. We would definitely recommend Ellen to work with any first-time home buyers.
Mark and Michelle
We cannot thank Ellen enough as she made it possible, after our own months of searching, to find us the property that was perfect for our family of four.
She was brilliant at timing the whole process perfectly so we could move into our new home in our preferred location near our childrens' schools just before we were due to leave our rental property
She had a great relationship with the real estate agent with whom she was negotiating on our behalf, and kept the process seamless and effortless on our behalf. It all happened within a fast 60 days.
Thank you Ellen for bringing together the right experts at the right time.
