From Ashgrove to Alderley: A Seamless Downsizing Success Story
✅ Strategic vendor advisory ensured a smooth sale-to-purchase transition
✅ Pre-market preparation and decisive negotiation secured the ideal home
✅ Property purchased and settled within the tight 90-day timeframe
The Brief
Our clients, are local Brisbane residents looking to downsize from their family home in Ashgrove.
With busy lives and a limited window to secure their next home, they needed expert guidance to manage both the sale and purchase simultaneously — all while navigating a highly competitive and rapidly rising market.
They wanted a low-maintenance, ground-floor unit with garden space — something with character, good access to their northside community, and within a reasonable commute to work.
Most importantly, they wanted confidence they weren’t missing opportunities, including off-market listings, and assurance that their new property would be low risk (no flood or main road exposure).
🗝 Budget: circa $850,000-875,000
Our Process
We began by supporting the couple with vendor advisory services, helping them select the right selling agent for their Ashgrove home and negotiate a longer settlement period. This ensured they had time to secure their new property without feeling pressured or displaced.
Once their sale went unconditional, we were ready to act quickly.
Before they were officially “purchase-ready,” we conducted early inspections and provided detailed market education — keeping them informed about availability, sales prices, and suburb performance. This preparation gave them complete confidence when the time came to act.
When the perfect Alderley property appeared pre-market, we immediately began comprehensive due diligence — reviewing documentation, assessing market value, and developing a clear offer strategy.
By the time the first open home rolled around, we were fully prepared. Despite a crowded inspection with multiple interested buyers, we submitted a competitive unconditional offer immediately following the open home — and secured the property that same afternoon.
The Result
🏡 Property: 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom, single garage unit in a small complex with over sized wrap around courtyard
📍 Location: Alderley, Brisbane Northside
💰 Purchase Price: $875,000
⏱ Time to contract: 36 days from the client’s sale going unconditional
🔎 Access: Identified pre-market; contracted same day as first open home
💡 Strategy: Downsizer purchase with aligned settlements for seamless transition
In total, the property sale, search and preparation process spanned 89 days, including the period while their Ashgrove home was being marketed. The result — a beautifully smooth transition, perfect timing, and overjoyed clients settling straight into their new home.
