Hi Brad, I was wanting to have a vacant lot of land in Pascoe Vale South valued. Who should I contact, how much would this cost, and how long would it take to arrange?
The north west corridor provides some really good opportunities for investment. Properties close to public transport are the best so be clear on 300-500m from train, tram or thirdly bus route You will find it difficult to buy a home of any quality for $600 ish so look at buying a two bedroom flat . Richardson St, Fletcher St, Glass St are three greats to look in and around. Flats built in the 60's and 70's are well located and bullet proof. They need painting and carpeting every few years and see are simple and economical to do to ensure your rents stay up,and also minimize vacancy factor. Newer properties will be more expensive and often the owners corporation fees to cover the cost of compliance and maintenance for lifts and fire services and large foyers are prohibitive and weaken your return. Two bedrooms $375-$425 will leave some money to maybe look at buying a 1 bedroom as well $275-$300 ish The extra borrowed will be countered by higher return across two investments. Let me know if you need more advice Brad
Brad, I am thinking of buying an investment property in your core area, most likely in Moonee Ponds, Essendon, Ascot Vale or Brunswick. What property type do you recommend for the best return on investment and capital growth. I was leaning towards purchasing one house for say around $600,000 but would I be better to buy 2 apartments for example?
Julie, Please contact Aaron Leask on 0438 655 573. He will organize appointments to allow you to inspect these two properties and provide you with information on other listings which will suit your needs. thanks Brad

Dear Ruth and Jenni You recently posted comments, however, I am unable to contact you directly and would like to obtain further information. Please email me directly at brad@bradteal.com.au so I may assist you and answer your questions. Regards Brad
Ujju, Thanks for your question. Auctions in Victoria are sold/purchased on an unconditional basis, so any inspections on the property, finance arrangements etc are usually confirmed prior to the auction to prevent the scenario you have presented. (This advice does not constitute legal advice, which should be obtained from a solicitor or Consumer Affairs Victoria).
I am planning to buy my first investment property through the Auction. I have a question in relation to buyer's right at the AUCTION. Please read the scenario below and answer accordingly. John, the winning bidder pays 10 % of diposit on the same day - and carries out property inspection after the auction - and some serious building issue / termite / asbestos found in building inspection report. What happens in this situation - does buyer can back off from buying without losing 10% of deposit ? If John was wiser - could he be allowed to carry out various inspection prior to AUCTION day? Thanks, Ujju
We are pleased you have taken the time to write. The staff are always empathetic to the needs of vendors. Having a young family and keeping a home in “inspection ready” condition is hard work . We are very happy to post your comments
Hello, we recently sold our house in ascot vale and rachel chandler and Aaron leaks where our agents. I am writing to let you know that both Rachel and Aaron did an outstanding job in keeping us informed and advising us of next steps. As we have a 16 month old baby it was a very busy time for us and Rachel went out of her way to ensure that the process was seamless. She has exceptional customer service and sales skills, a brilliant communicator and no doubt is an asset to your company. We can't thank her enough for making the process of selling our home an easy one. Warm regards, Anthea and phil
Spring time is traditionally the best time of the year, and if you do miss the spring time market, up until about the first week in December, then wait until late February / March. Those two periods tend to be when the best homes hit the marketplace, which draws more and more buyers into searching the web and going to open times. Anywhere from mid-October through to the end of November is, in my opinion, the best selling time of the year.
When is a good time to sell? Before Xmas or in February ?
Brad Teal Real Estate has acted several times for Ann and is delighted she thought enough of us to initiate her own reference.
We had Brad Teal sell our house back in October 2010. We hadBrad do the auction and he did a fantastic job, as well as his staff. We were very pleased with what we got for the house, over 100000.00 more than the reserve, so we couldnt have been happier. Thanks to Brad ad all his team. If we were to see again I would not hesitate in getting Brad Teal again. But we do not have intenton of selling, as we are extremely pleased with what we have now. The house we sold was just too big for the 2 of us,so we downsized and have never looked back
