Buying a property in Preston can be a daunting and difficult process. For many of us, buying property is something we only do a few times in our lives.
A buyers advocate (also known as a buyers agent or property finder) can be an enormous help when buying a home or investment property by:
- removing the stress and frustration of buying a home
- saving you time and allowing you to get your weekends back
- saving you from having to deal with the tactics of real estate agents
Questions such as “where can I find a home I can afford”, “am I paying too much?”, “where can I find someone to bid for me at auction” are easily answered with the assistance of a buyer’s agent specialising in the Preston area.
A buyers advocate can manage the entire buying process for you, or when you have found a property, they can negotiate on your behalf with the agent or bid at auction for you.
WE MAKE IT EASY to get your weekends back and find the perfect home or investment property in Preston for a LOW FLAT FIXED FEE. We guide you through the entire process, from selecting a home, market appraisal, negotiating/bidding to the final inspection, and help you purchase with confidence.
We also offer a service for vendors selling in Preston. We offer our Vendor Advocacy service to our sellers at NO CHARGE.
PRESTON Suburb Profile
Preston is a suburb of Melbourne located approximately 9kms north-east of the Melbourne CBD in the city of Darebin.
Covering over 11 square kilometers, the eastern boundary of Preston with Heidelberg West is along the meandering trail formed by Darebin Creek, and the Darebin Creek Forest Park. In the south-west pocket Preston’s boundary with Coburg runs along the Merri Creek, so while it has a generous geographic footprint, Preston has plenty of leafy green reserves.
There are multiple schools well spread across Preston, making this a popular suburb with families. Primary schools include Preston Primary School, Preston North East Primary School, Preston South Primary School, Preston West Primary School, Bell Primary School, Newlands Primary School, Sacred Heart Primary School and St Raphael’s Primary School. Secondary schooling options include The Pavilion School, Preston High School, Parade College and St John’s College. The Melbourne Polytechnic also has a campus in Preston.
Public transport in Preston is just as comprehensive as the educational opportunities. It features train and tram lines first established in the early to mid 1900’s and an extensive bus system with approximately sixteen bus routes. Train stations include Bell and Preston on the Mernda line, while tram routes run from West Preston to Victoria Harbour Docklands and from Bundoora RMIT to Waterfront City Docklands.
Suburbs surrounding Preston include Coburg and Coburg North, Reservoir, Heidelberg West, Thornbury and Bellfield.
