Would you consider selling your investment property for the right price?

Market conditions are the strongest we have seen in 30 years and property investors are in a unique position to take advantage of such. The level of competition in the market is discouraging most homeowners from selling, as they are aware they will need to buy in the same frenzied market.

With limited homes coming to the market for sale, this offers a unique opportunity for investors to capitalise on their property’s value.
