Overseas Buyers
A Guide for Aussie Expats and Foreign Investors
House Hunting – Buyer’s Agents is a buyer’s agency service that specialises in helping overseas buyers (Aussie expats and foreign investors) purchase property in Australia.
Whether you are living in Dubai, Singapore, Hong Kong, , New York, or anywhere else in the world, House Hunting – Buyer’s Agents can help you purchase your own home or investment property.
We recognise that living abroad can create many logistical problems that make buying property difficult:
- Traveling to inspect properties can be expensive, time-consuming and often impractical.
- Overseas buyers are generally not familiar with property prices and market conditions and so risk paying too much.
- Properties which seem ‘perfect’ on the internet can be disappointing when seen in the flesh
- Different time zones make it difficult to:
- Communicate and negotiate with selling agents
- Arrange finance, conveyancing, building and pest inspections; building works and property management
- Arrange Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) approval if required.
