Local knowledge

What matters when you buy in Melbourne

Melbourne calls them buyer's advocates rather than buyer's agents, and the distinction is worth knowing when you search: the same job, a different local word. The city's inner ring, the eastern and bayside corridors and the outer growth areas behave as separate markets, and advocates tend to specialise tightly.

  • Read the Section 32

    Victorian vendors must give you a Section 32 statement before you sign, covering title, outgoings, planning controls and anything the seller is obliged to disclose.

  • Apartments need a closer read

    Reading one properly is a real part of the job, particularly on apartments and anything with an owners corporation.

  • Auctions every weekend

    Auctions dominate the inner and middle rings, so an advocate who bids for you every weekend is worth more than one who mostly negotiates private sales.
