Townhouses

Should I add a townhouse to my portfolio?

As the cost of land skyrockets and the great Australian dream of a big backyard becomes unreachable for many, a townhouse offers a more affordable alternative. Townhouses have widespread appeal; the additional indoor and outdoor space is highly desirable for families whilst the lower maintenance makes them ideal for downsizers.

Busy professionals are also attracted to the “lock up and leave” lifestyle a townhouse offers, as well as the open space apartments can’t offer.

Townhouses are often located closer to the CBD or close to convenient transport nodes and retail hubs making them a more convenient lifestyle choice.

Performance

Strong rental yields & capital growth strengthening with increasing demand.

Growth Drivers

Proximity to shopping centres, public transport hubs, hospitals, universities, parks, lakes & beaches.

Location

Typically within 5-15km of a highly built-up area, CBD or major employment hub.

Tenants

Young families, single parent families & married couples.

How can you be confident you’re investing in the right townhouse?

Many Australians may be keen to buy a new townhouse because of the growth location, government incentives on offer, potential tax advantages or simply to enioy the cutting-edge design that suits a contemporary lifestyle and will appeal to a high-calibre tenant. But all townhouses aren’t created equal. How can you be sure of the delivery and quality of the end product?

We share the same concerns. That’s why we thoroughly review every property we recommend, and only partner with industry-leading developers.

An affordable price point that represents value for investors.

What we really appreciated most about Ironfish was that all the homework had been done for us and we simply had to assess our options. There was no pushing or hard sell. Our best interests were as high a priority as theirs were.

Why would we turn down a townhouse development?

Our brand reputation means we can as selective as we want when it comes to choosing which developers we partner with and what townhouses we recommend to our investors. In reviewing a development, we consider many factors including location, convenience, comparable pricing, size, floorplans and contract terms. And of course, the developer: what’s their track record, which builder are they using, and what’s their strategy to ensure the development gets off the ground successfully?

Typically, we reject the majority of the townhouse developments we analyse.
