The brief

This young family had been searching on their own for 18 months. They wanted their forever home. Being close to particular schools was high on the list, and so was good internal space. They also wanted a home that needed no work.

The challenge

A new home can look like the low-risk option for a family that doesn’t want to renovate. But the checks need to be just as rigorous as they are for an older home.

How we won it

We bought it before it went to auction, so we moved quickly without cutting corners. We went deep on the warranty, the certification and the council approvals, and had an in-depth building and pest inspection done. The family bought knowing exactly what they were getting.

The result

The home ticked all three boxes: close to the schools they wanted, the internal space they were after, and no work to do. A wonderful home to make memories for many years to come.

Thinking about a new home?

A new home still needs the checks an older one does. Finding is the easy part. It’s what happens next that matters. See how Find & Buy works.
