The method
How Ben assesses a property.
The method is deliberately unglamorous. Look harder at the property than the marketing invites you to, read the campaign honestly, and keep every recommendation traceable to evidence. Nothing here depends on a hunch you cannot check.
- 01
Define the real decision
Before any inspection, we get clear on what you actually need the property to do. A good brief removes more homes than it adds, which is the point.
- 02
Examine the property, below the suburb
Land, light, location and layout, read at the level of the block and the street rather than the postcode average.
- 03
Read the campaign around it
Comparable sales, the depth of genuine buyer interest, and how the selling agent is running the process. This is where the price is really set.
- 04
Recommend on evidence you can follow
A defensible value range and a strategy you can see the logic of, so the offer is a decision rather than a hope.
The evidence, tile by tile
What each part of the assessment covers
Discuss your search
Start with the decision, not the engagement.
Tell Ben what you are trying to do. The first conversation is about whether and how to proceed, and it is genuinely useful whether or not you go further.
