Property Investment
The smartest way to invest in propertyThis graph depicts the impact of different capital growth rates over 10 years. A small difference can make a big change over the life of your property ownership!
For example, and lets be conservative. A property purchased for $500,000 today that performs at 5% per annum would be worth approximately $814,000 in 10 years. However, another property purchased at the same amount that peforms at 7% per annum (2% more) would be worth around $983,000 in 10 years. That 2% difference for the same purchase price just netted you $169,000 more in growth!

Our Services
We offer a suite of services that we are able to tailor to your needs. Each property purchase is different and each client will have individual circumstances in which they purchase but our end goal is always the same. To buy you a high performing investment property at the best price possible.
Full Premium Service
This is our most popular service. We understand that it can be time consuming and stressful to search for property. That’s why we take all of the “legwork” and research out of your hands, but at the same time keep you informed and updated throughout the entire process.
Our Premium Service includes regular online searches and sourcing off-market properties, unlimited inspections, independent assessments with detailed reports and negotiating the successful purchase. We keep working until your ideal property has been purchased.
Assess & Negotiate
Enjoy the hunt or already found a property you would like to buy, but not sure what it is worth and whether it is as good as the selling agent tells you it is. Use our assess and negotiate service for an objective analysis on the property, location and price.
We will inspect the property, prepare a detailed independent property report and price analysis and negotiate the purchase on your behalf.
We can also organise building and pest inspections and a review of the contract and Section 32 by a solicitor or legal representative if required.
Auction Bidding &
Negotiate Only
Our buyer’s agents use their extensive experience in negotiation to secure your property at the best possible price, under the best possible conditions, irrespective of the method of sale.
We provide auction bidding for those that are uncomfortable with the auction process or are simply not going to be available on the day of the auction. We also provide a negotiate only service for property listed as private sale or EOI.
Either way, you can tap into our decades of experience and proven negotiating strategies and be assured an experienced professional is representing your best interests.

We realised immediately that we were going to be in good hands! From the very beginning Antony made us feel welcome; “call me Ant, all my friends do” he said.
Ant asked us to think about the type of property that we were looking for, explained the costs involved, the benefits of using NPB, what to look for in a property, strategies when wanting to make an offer on a property and so forth. Once Ant had an idea on the type of property we were looking for he went to work. We looked at several properties, had reports on each of them, discussed what we liked and disliked.
After several property inspections we came upon a townhouse in Pascoe Vale. We loved it—it had everything that we wanted in an investment property. Ant organised personal and routine inspections. He then discussed our strategy in making an offer. The outcome was that we bought the property and only $1K off Ant’s opinion!
After 5 years of ownership we decided to renovate our Sydney property – so we needed to sell our investment property. We were sad to sell as it was a terrific investment property. This time we used Ant as our seller advocate. We sold our property in Pascoe Vale for a great price—more than we had ever hoped for!
To the team at NPB—thank you so much for being a part of our investment journey! You definitely made this experience a rewarding and profitable one! The fee that NPB charge for their services was such a good investment in itself as it saved us a lot on the purchase and made us more in the selling! We would have no hesitation in recommending Antony Bucello and the team at NBP to anyone looking to purchase an investment property!”

With Brenton’s help I was able to purchase a property that checks off what I was looking for in an investment property. It made an innately stressful process far less stressful having the market filtered down to what would interest me, be in my target price range and myself only having to inspect properties or attend auctions which were worth my time. Thanks a lot!

Our Fees
Full Premium Service
1.5% to 2% (+GST)
of the purchase price
Our full service (search, assess and negotiate) includes; regular searching , sourcing off-market properties, unlimited inspections, full independent assessment reports and negotiating the successful purchase. We keep working until your ideal property has been purchased!
Generally, this service is between 1.5 and 2% (+GST) of the purchase price. This fee is made up of an initial engagement fee of $3,300. The remaining balance is paid on success, when we have secured your property (called the ‘success fee’). This means the engagement fee is part of the total fee and not in addition.
We also offer a ‘fixed fee’ option.
Assess & Negotiate
0.75% to 1% (+GST)
of the purchase price
The assess and negotiate service is suitable if you’d like to do the property search yourself or have already found the property you would like to buy.
We inspect the property and prepare a detailed property report and price analysis and negotiate the purchase on your behalf.
Generally, this service is between 0.75 and 1% (+GST) of the purchase price.
This fee is made up of an initial engagement fee between $1,650 and $2,200, with the remaining balance paid on successfully securing your property (called the ‘success fee’).
We also have a ‘fixed fee’ option.
Auction Bidding &
Negotiate Only
starting at
$750 (+GST)
Negotiating with Sales Agents to get the best result for the buyer can be a challenging task, particularly for the inexperienced. This low-cost service is for those uncomfortable with auctions, private sale negotiations or simply not available to attend on auction day.
Auction bidding or negotiate only fees are fixed upfront and an engagement fee is payable in advance. The initial engagement fee is typically between $825 and $1650 (inc GST). And only upon securing the property is the success fee paid. Generally, for auction bidding, this is between $850 and $1650 depending on requirements.
This means it could be as little as $825 to have an expert represent you on the day.
The Secret Sauce
When selecting a Buyer’s Agent, you are entrusting them with (one of) your biggest financial investments, you need to know they are working as hard as possible for you.
We believe statistics alone don’t give you the information you need to make a good purchase. They are only one aspect – past performance, predicted growth, rental yields, median house prices are all important but actively knowing the market you work in is crucial!
What is the reputations of local schools, plans for new infrastructure, real travel times, whether the suburb is oversaturated with similar property, the type of tenants that particular suburbs attract are just a few of the considerations we factor in. You want your Buyer Agent physically viewing the property themselves. And not just the property, the street and surrounds. You want them to have relationships with local sales agents, allowing them access to pre-listing or off-market properties. You want them to be honest with you and recommend against a property purchase even if the figures add up, but maybe the property isn’t matched as well to you as it could be.
And how do we identify the right property for you? We call it “The Secret Sauce”. The 3 P’s. Property. Position. Price.
Each criterion is linked with one another and depending on your individual requirements weighted differently. Once we ascertain your requirements the search (or assessment) can commence utilising our selection criteria for identifying investment ‘grade’ properties. We have identified some of our key selection criteria which we evaluate properties against in an addition to a whole host of other items.
