04Approval and lawful-use confirmationWhat the verified evidence says and what must be confirmed for the exact propertyDevelopment approval may be required
- The exempt-development pathway applies to lawfully constructed dwellings permitted for residential accommodation when every relevant standard is met.
- Existing development-consent conditions and strata by-laws can restrict STRA.
- Boarding houses, seniors housing, group homes, hostels, co-living housing and other listed excluded dwelling types cannot use the residential STRA pathway.
- A development application is required solely when the proposed use cannot use the applicable exempt or permitted pathway.
- The council may require plans, proposed guest numbers, parking, waste and noise controls, fire-safety information, complaint contacts and an operational management plan.
- Approval is property-specific and cannot be assured.
- If an applicable exempt-development condition is not met, confirm whether development consent or cessation of the non-compliant use is required.
Wealth Through Property can liaise with Greater Sydney and relevant planning professionals, help confirm the planning pathway and coordinate the documents required for an application. Greater Sydney remains responsible for deciding whether approval is required and whether it is granted.

The price
What you pay, worked out for your purchase
Pick your price range or type your budget. You see the fee, the retainer and every way to pay, straight away. All prices include GST.
What do you expect to pay for the property?
Your fee: $14,000 0.93% of the price, GST included. If you buy for more or less, it’s worked out again on the price you actually pay.
No interest while we search, and the first 3 months are interest-free. After you buy, interest is charged on what’s still owing, nothing more. Pay it off at any time and the interest stops: you just pay what’s left of the fee.
Included
- Your own buyers agent · One person from start to finish.
- Strategy session and 20-year plan · Where this property fits in your bigger plan.
- Investment property data · Growth, rent and supply data for every area we test.
- Unlimited reviews and negotiations · As many properties as it takes.

Good to know
- The retainer comes off your fee, and you get it all back if you cancel within 7 days.
- Monthly payments start a month after you sign, worked out on your estimated price, with no interest while we search, however long it takes.
- When you buy, the fee is worked out again on the price you actually pay. Paid too much? We refund it.
- After you buy, interest (0.5% a month) is charged on what’s still owing. Pay it off at any time and the interest stops.
The fee scale and retainer

Payment plans
Pay your buyers agent fee monthly, not all at once
A buyers agent fee usually falls due at settlement, right when your deposit, stamp duty and loan costs land. We let you spread it. You start with a retainer from $1,000, which comes off your fee, then choose how to pay the rest.
- Pay at settlement
Nothing more until you buy. The balance is paid at settlement, with nothing added.
- 3 months, interest-free
Split the balance into three monthly payments, with no interest at any point.
- 12, 24 or 36 months
Smaller monthly payments. No interest while we search, and the first 3 months are interest-free. After you buy, 0.5% a month applies to what is still owing.
- Pay it off early, any time
Clear the balance whenever you like and the interest stops. You pay what is left of the fee.
- Worked out on the price you pay
Payments start on your estimated price. When you buy, the fee is worked out again on the actual price, and anything paid over is refunded.
- More of your savings for the deposit
Spreading the fee keeps more of your cash for the deposit and buying costs, which is where it counts.
Illustrative example: on a $750,000 purchase our fee is $12,000, GST included. After a $1,000 retainer you could pay the $11,000 balance at settlement, as $3,666.67 a month for 3 months with no interest, or from $458.33 a month on the 24-month plan. Use the buyers agent fee calculator to see every option for your price.

I’ve bought two properties through Scott and both have been excellent buys. He found great value in strong locations, and the growth has been solid. Because of the results from those first two, I’m now in a position to buy another two investment properties and I’ll definitely be using Scott again.

Scott has been awesome throughout my journey. We bought our first investment property with Scott’s help and professional guidance. Would recommend him to any new buyers looking to kick start their investment portfolio.

Thanks for helping me Scott. You made buying in another state easy and I wouldn’t had the time to do it myself

Common questions
Buying an investment property in Sydney: questions buyers ask
How much does an investment property cost in Sydney?
In the last 12 months, in the suburb of Sydney 2-bed units sold for a median $1,350,000, with long-term rent of $1,350 a week. Rental vacancy for houses there is 0.0%. Each suburb above shows medians by bedroom count, rents and gross yields so you can compare before you shortlist.
What does an investment property buyers agent do in Sydney?
We research Sydney suburbs for growth, rent and vacancy, shortlist on-market and off-market properties, check the title, strata and building for the exact address, negotiate the price and guide you through to settlement.
How much does the investment property buyers agent service cost?
$12,000 fixed for purchases up to $1M, then a sliding scale: 0.4% on the part from $1M to $2M, 0.38% on the part from $2M to $5M, 0.35% on the part from $5M to $10M and 0.25% on the part over $10M. A retainer from $1,000 starts the search and comes off your fee. Pay at settlement, or monthly over 3 months interest-free, or over 12, 24 or 36 months. All amounts include GST.
Can Wealth Through Property manage the property after I buy?
If you decide to let it as a short stay, yes. Full management is $400 a month for the first 3 months, then 12.5% down to 3% of what the home earns after platform fees and cleaning, GST included. Or we can run the pricing and listings while you manage it yourself.
