A favourite pastime whilst on holidays at the beach, is checking out the properties For Sale in the local Real Estate Agency\u2019s windows. As the Bellarine Peninsula becomes as popular (if not more popular), than its counterpart across Port Phillip Bay, growing numbers are choosing to settle in the areas around Geelong, generally considered the more affordable option. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whilst retirees have long known the attraction of a \u2018seachange\u2019, with townships such as Queenscliff and Point Lonsdale rating most popular among this demographic, local councils are finding ways to attract a younger crowd by promoting the benefits of a regional lifestyle \u2013 and the more affordable prices \u2013 to settle in towns across the Bellarine Peninsula including Leopold, Drysdale, Clifton Springs, Ocean Grove, Portarlington, Indented Head or along the Surf Coast including Torquay, Jan Juc, Anglesea and the new estate areas opening up at Lara, Fyansford, Bannockburn, Armstrong Creek, Mt. Duneed and other areas around the Geelong hub. The peninsula population is expected to grow by 25,000 to 30,000 over the next 15 years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When buying a property that is riddled with defects, it is likely to be you footing any repair bills. Once the Purchase Agreement is signed it is too late to start negotiating on price. Pre-purchase inspections<\/strong> help create a level playing field for home buyers, allowing you to make more informed decisions and putting you in the best position to negotiate on price. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Homes in Victoria are often bought at auction. If you think you\u2019ve found your dream home and it\u2019s going to auction, a Pre-Auction Inspection<\/strong> may help to negotiate a better price<\/strong> and for it to be accepted prior to sale. This benefits vendors as well, by reducing their selling costs or if they\u2019re seeking a quick sale. Even better, if the property is passed-in at auction, our report can help you negotiate a great price afterwards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Any Building damage discovered after purchase will not be covered by insurance. Insurance companies do not pay for any damage that existed before you bought the property! Our Pre-Auction Building Inspection reports will give you that peace of mind before the auction. <\/p>\n\n\n\nProfessional Pre-Purchase Inspection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
