Expressions of Interest Closing November 3 2018

You may be aware that the Victorian Government has made every effort to support the buying of property by requiring Statements of Information be provided for residential property in attempts to reduce under-quoting.

Unfortunately, the standard legislation means the sale of some properties cannot truly represent the wishes of the vendor.

For this property, we are undertaking an Expressions of Interest campaign for the first part of the selling program.

It will be Sale by Negotiation starting immediately. The vendor may sell for less than the $1.8m on the current Statement of Information. The Vendor, as do we, wish to support any buyers interested to protect and promote all the eco values established in this property. This means that for some buyers there may be considerable negotiation in the purchase price.

The systems and infrastructure established in this property well exceeds $1.8m so whatever the final purchase price, the new owner will benefit from substantial assets and values.

We encourage all Eco buyers to contact our office to discuss the property and the selling program in detail.

For all buyers, please submit the property inquiry form to receive details of the Expressions of Interest document and to find out all the details of how the selling program will proceed. This document will explain the assets in more detail and the values to assist you in expressing your interest.

Please note: the Vendor will consider any Offers throughout this Expressions of Interest campaign and so the property may be sold before the expiry date of November 3, 2018.
