Frequently Asked Questions
Thinking of investing in property? Here are the answers to our most commonly asked questions from clients across Australia – from first-time investors to seasoned portfolio builders.
Who is Search Party Property?
Search Party Property is a specialist buyers agency focused on helping investors build high-performing property portfolios. We combine expert market research with national coverage to help you buy the right property, in the right place, at the right time.
What is a buyer’s agent?
A buyer’s agent works exclusively for the buyer, unlike a real estate agent who represents the seller. We help you identify, assess, and negotiate the best property for your investment goals — removing emotion and minimising risk from the process.
How does Search Party Property help investors?
We specialise in sourcing residential investment properties with high potential for both capital growth and strong rental income. Our team also provides strategic support to help you build a sustainable, scalable property portfolio over time.
What types of properties do you recommend?
We focus on high-performing residential investments including houses, townhouses, and duplexes in both established and emerging growth areas across Australia.
Beyond traditional residential investments, we also offer:
- SPP Prestige – access to premium, high-end properties in blue-chip locations.
- Commercial Property Advocacy – for clients looking to diversify into commercial assets.
- Luxury New Builds – in partnership with one of Australia’s leading builders, we assist clients purchasing bespoke, high-end developments.
Every property we recommend is carefully assessed for its capital growth potential, rental yield, and long-term market resilience.
Do you buy property Australia-wide?
Yes. We operate across all major states and regional markets in Australia. We are currently active in New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, Tasmania, and the Australian Capital Territory.
Whether you’re looking in metro, regional, or coastal areas, our research and data-driven approach ensures we go wherever the strongest opportunities are.
Do you help first-time investors?
Absolutely. We provide full guidance for first-time investors – from creating an investment plan to understanding market fundamentals – so you can invest with confidence and clarity.
Do you help experienced investors?
Yes. Whether you’re scaling an existing portfolio or targeting new property types, we tailor our approach to meet your investment strategy and help maximise returns.
Do you provide market research and analysis?
Yes. All of our property recommendations are backed by in-depth research, including suburb analysis, rental yields, infrastructure development, economic trends, and capital growth data. This ensures your purchase is based on facts, not guesswork.
What services are included?
When you work with Search Party Property, you get end-to-end buying support, including:
- Investment strategy session and property brief
- National property search and suburb targeting
- Property and deal analysis
- Negotiation and purchase coordination
- Collaboration with trusted brokers, solicitors, and property managers
How long does the process take?
Most clients secure their first property within 30 to 90 days, depending on the brief and current market conditions. We act quickly – but never compromise on due diligence.
Can you help me build a portfolio?
Yes. Portfolio growth is one of our core strengths. We help you design a long-term, scalable strategy where each purchase builds towards your financial independence.
What if I’ve already started looking?
That’s fine. We can step in to review your shortlist, conduct independent analysis, and ensure you’re making an informed choice – or find stronger opportunities you may have missed.
Do you work with other professionals?
Yes. We have an established network of trusted mortgage brokers, accountants, conveyancers, and property managers. If you already have professionals you prefer, we’ll happily work alongside them.
Do you attend inspections or auctions?
Yes. We or our local representatives can attend inspections and auctions on your behalf to ensure you’re buying strategically and with full confidence.
Why not buy through a selling agent?
Selling agents work for the vendor. We work for you – the buyer. Our focus is to identify the best opportunities, negotiate the best price, and protect you from overpaying or buying in the wrong market.
How do you decide where to buy?
We take a data-driven approach to location selection. Our team evaluates infrastructure investment, economic drivers, population growth, supply and demand balance, and rental yields to identify suburbs with strong long-term growth potential.
What happens in a downturn?
Our buying strategy focuses on resilient markets with diversified local economies, stable demand, and limited housing supply. This ensures your investments remain steady even during market fluctuations.
How can I get started?
It’s simple – book a free discovery call with one of our buyers agents. We’ll discuss your goals, timeline, and investment strategy, and help you take the next step toward building your portfolio.
