BUYER’S AGENCY
Investing in property can be overwhelming and risky, especially with so many strategies to choose from. It’s hard to navigate the market and make the right decisions without expert guidance. At SHEK property we provide you with unbiased advice so you can make informed decisions.
In Australia, the long-term buy and hold strategy in property investment stands out as a cornerstone for building substantial wealth and financial security. This strategy, deeply rooted in the principles of patience and foresight, allows investors to harness the full spectrum of benefits that Australian real estate offers. Over time, properties not only appreciate in value due to the country’s consistent market growth but also provides investors with a steady stream of rental income, contributing to a robust and stable cash flow.
Additionally, Australian tax rules offer various incentives for long-term property investors, including deductions on property expenses and capital gains tax benefits, further enhancing the attractiveness of this investment approach. By committing to a long-term perspective, investors position themselves to capitalise on the cyclical nature of real estate markets, weathering short-term fluctuations and achieving significant financial rewards.
The buy and hold strategy in Australia’s dynamic property market thus presents a compelling pathway to achieving lasting wealth and financial independence.
At SHEK property, we strategise and tailor property investments to the client’s needs.
Our clients consistently experience remarkable returns, with an average increase of 25-30% within the first two years of property ownership. This exceptional performance underscores our commitment to delivering superior investment for our clients.

Our 4-Step Process
Initial Consult, Strategy & Planning
Your initial consultation with a SHEK Property Investment Strategist will involve a deep-down understanding of your goals and aspirations along with the timeline set to turn these into reality.
Your personal investment strategist will then work on a plan outlining the key strategy and how this links to your goal. The plan will state the type of property investment recommended at different stages of your journey, typically over the next 10 to 15 years. This will set out the initial phase of your investment strategy.
Research & Evaluation
The next step will involve deep data-based research in identifying key locations within Australia, that has been identified as a key investment hotspot based on a set of qualitative and quantitative factors.
Up to 50 factors are assessed at both the suburb & property level, including some of the following:
Suburb Level
- Rental Yield
- Vacancy Rate
- Percentage of Owner Occupiers
- Growth over the past decade
- Available Land Supply
- Income & Affordability Levels
- Liveability: Schools, Shopping Centres, Public Transport, Parks etc.
Property Level
- Bushfire Prone Land
- Flood Zone
- Housing Commission
- Land Slope
- Age and Condition of Dwelling
- Main Road or Thoroughfare
- Land Shape or Orientation
- Transmission Lines
Source & Shortlist
Once the research & evaluation phase is complete and we have agreed on a strategy with the client, a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) is done on specific properties that we source and shortlist.
Properties are sourced according to the client’s brief & strategy, and are sourced by our property acquisition specialists; either on, off or pre-market. We have an extensive network of industry partners that we work with ensuring our client’s get the best possible outcomes.
Lastly, we review any restrictions or risks associated with the said property and ensure it is a suitable asset before presenting to our client.
Due Diligence, Negotiation & Settlement
Upon receiving the client’s approval, we commence negotiations and secure the deal as efficiently and effectively as possible.
Although a majority of the due diligence is conducted prior to signing the contract and it becoming a binding contract, there are further clauses that need to be satisfied prior to settlement.
In most circumstances, a building & pest inspector completes a report. Once the report is submitted, our team dissects the report, discusses it in detail with the building inspector to get to the bottom of the issues (if any) and items that require attention, and then proceeds to negotiate and also provide recommendations to the client in layman’s terms (in the most simple way possible).
Once the settlement has taken place and the investment property has been rented out, a 3-month post settlement meeting is scheduled in with a member of our team. This is to ensure everything is going as planned and on track. Further, it is an opportunity to sort out any teething issues or challenges our clients may be facing. At this meeting we also touch on the supplementary property investment items like organising a depreciation schedule for tax purposes and for the client to ask any questions.
