"Why would you sign for something you can't move into for two years?"

It's the first thing people say about new builds, and it treats the wait as the cost. For anyone already carrying a home loan and planning the next purchase, it's closer to the opposite.

Settlement on a new build can be 12 to 36 months after contract. The deposit goes down at signing, the balance isn't due until completion, and the price is set in the contract. That gap is time to save, pay down non-deductible debt and review your lending before settlement.

The timing advantage was already there. From 1 July 2027, the tax rules add another reason to consider new builds, with negative gearing and the 50% CGT discount limited to new builds.

Full breakdown on new builds is in the guide. Comment ‘NEW’ and we'll send it through.

What drives capital growth in commercial property?

Not the same things that drive it in residential. How scarce the land is, how much rental growth is written into the lease, and how many occupiers actually want that location.

This is a highlight from our latest webinar on the difference between residential and commercial property.

New build changes how several of those risks play out. The asset arrives under warranty, so capital expenditure sits further away. The specification already includes what modern occupiers ask for, including solar and EV provision. A leasing agent can be appointed before settlement rather than after. And a well chosen format attracts owner occupiers as well as investors, which widens the buyer pool when you eventually sell.

The full session also covers types of commercial property, lending and SMSF leverage, key risks, where commercial fits in a broader portfolio, plus real opportunities and how we assess them.

Comment “COMMERCIAL” for the full recording.

A rate rise to 4.60% has everyone looking at repayments. The more encouraging story sits a little further out.

Buyer budgets have tightened, but rents keep rising and yields are at their highest since 2019. Most owners are sitting on solid equity.

For new builds bought early, the timing works differently. The price is set today, while the loan only begins at completion. Today's rate rise doesn't reach the purchase until then.

The headline rate is only one part of the picture. The rest is working in property's favour more than the news suggests.

This is The Read, one thing from the week's property news, and what it actually means. Follow so you don't miss it.

What makes an inner Brisbane apartment worth a closer look right now?

For us it starts with the market around the property, where the demand is coming from, and whether anything new is arriving to meet it.

We have been watching an inner north catchment 5.5km from the Brisbane C*D, where the unit median is up 21.9% over the past 12 months. Houses here sit around $1.6M at relatively low yields, so the demand has moved to apartments and almost no new stock has come through to meet it.

One new-build release recently made our shortlist. Boutique in scale, two low-rise buildings, with rail and schools close by and a wellness and rooftop amenity level well above what this price point usually buys.

Pre-launch pricing from $685k, with allocation running in EOI order before the October public release.

These numbers are only part of our assessment. Want to see the opportunity and the thinking behind why we shortlisted it?

Comment "Village” and we will get in touch to arrange a quick conversation.

Before you sign, know what to look for.

The sunset clauses, floor plan changes and drifting settlement dates you've heard about all have one thing in common: they only work against buyers who didn't fully understand the contract they signed.

There are a few things worth having clarity on before you commit:
🔹 Developers and builders with a proven track record, the kind we've shortlisted through decades of experience
🔹 Sunset dates and plan variation rights
🔹 Every clause that shifts risk onto you, flagged by your solicitor

Knowing who is behind the project, what to look for and what to raise with your solicitor can make all the difference before you commit.

Want more confidence before you sign? Get in touch with us now!
