At Buywell Advocacy, we recently assisted our local investor clients in securing their next value-add project — a well-positioned post-war home in the high-growth suburb of Chermside. Purchased for $900,000, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home on a 637m² block offers exceptional renovation potential and long-term investment upside.

Situated within walking distance to Westfield Chermside and 7th Brigade Park, and neighbouring sought-after Wavell Heights, the location combines lifestyle convenience with strong capital growth prospects. A standout feature of the home is the large, lined, and air-conditioned Colorbond shed — a valuable space ideal for storage, a workshop, or recreation.

With the option to convert the lower level into a legal-height self-contained studio, this property offers excellent potential for dual living or rental income. For investors seeking flexibility and strong rental yield, this home presents a rare opportunity in a tightly held, well-connected pocket of Brisbane.

By securing this property, our clients have positioned themselves for both short-term gains through renovation and long-term returns in a suburb with growing demand and family-friendly appeal.

Investing in real estate can be a daunting yet rewarding venture, especially for those living abroad. Recently, we identified a promising post-war home on a generous 809m² block that perfectly illustrates our ‘Build Wealth’ strategy. Below, we’ll explore the benefits of this investment and why it represents an excellent opportunity for savvy investors.

Prime Location

Situated just a short drive from local shopping and rail transport, this property is in an elevated position, providing not just comfort but also convenience. With Brisbane CBD less than 40 minutes away via a direct rail line and Ipswich CBD only 10 minutes by car, this location is ideal for both homeowners and tenants alike.

Strong Rental Demand

The area boasts strong rental demand, making it an attractive choice for investors. This consistent demand is fueled by the proximity to amenities, transport links, and the overall livability of the suburb. For those looking to maximize returns, investing in a property that appeals to renters is essential.

Capital Growth Potential

Post-war homes are often seen as a blank canvas for investors. This particular property, while tidy, remains in its original condition, presenting a prime opportunity for renovation and modernisation. Given the rising property values in the region, there’s significant potential for capital growth. With careful upgrades, investors can enhance the property’s value while also increasing its rental appeal.

One of the standout features of this property is its additional access through a second driveway. This presents a unique opportunity to build a granny flat, which can further maximise rental returns. In today’s market, properties with multiple income streams are highly desirable, and the ability to add a secondary dwelling can significantly boost your investment’s profitability.

Our ‘Build Wealth’ strategy focuses on identifying properties with untapped potential. By choosing a property like this post-war home, investors can benefit from:

• Value Add Opportunities: Renovating and modernizing the home to attract higher rents.

• Dual Income Potential: Utilising the second driveway for a granny flat or secondary dwelling.

• Location Advantage: Capitalising on the area's strong rental market and proximity to key amenities.

Investing in post-war homes, especially those identified before they hit the market, offers significant advantages for investors living abroad. With the right approach, this property on 809m² presents an excellent opportunity to build wealth through capital growth and rental income. If you're considering investing in real estate, let this be a reminder of the potential that lies within well-located, original-condition properties.
