Frequently asked questions

What is the criteria to list a property?
Your listing has to meet at least one of these criteria:

• Gross Yield
  There should be an 8% minimum gross yield. The gross yield is calculated by dividing the income over a 50 week period by the value (either purchase price or current value) of the property. E.g. if someone purchased a property for $200,000 and it rented for $400 per week, the gross yield would be: $20,000/$200,000 or 10%

• Instant Equity
  The property is listed with a selling price of at least 10% below registered or government valuation

• Untapped Potential
  There is the potential to add significant value to the property such as the ability to subdivide, renovate or to add a secondary dwelling.

• Flexible vendor terms
  The vendors are willing to offer minimum 20% finance terms to the purchaser, such as delayed finance or vendor finance.

What happens if my listing is rejected?
We will contact you within 48 hours if we feel your listing does not met our criteria and contact you for more information. If your listing doesn’t meet the criteria, your payment will be refunded.
