About Our Buyer’s Agency

Results, Delivered.

Buying in Malvern

Older homes and what to check

Malvern sits in the City of Unley, with Unley and Parkside to its north, Highgate to its east and Kingswood to its south, a few kilometres from the city. Its streets are known for jacarandas and single-storey villas, and many are named after places in Britain.

Much of the housing is old, so a building inspection matters. Look at the roof, footings, rising damp, wiring and any past additions, and ask whether earlier work was approved. Hoping to extend or rebuild? Some of the City of Unley is under a Historic Area Overlay, so check which controls cover the lot on PlanSA before any offer goes in.

Our Buyer’s Agency Process for Malvern

Searching, testing and negotiating

The search follows your brief: land size, bedrooms, period or modern, and budget. For each home, we review recent sales in Malvern and nearby Unley Park, Highgate and Kingswood, along with the rent it could achieve. If a Malvern asking price looks rich against that evidence, we say it plainly and recommend you walk away.

Ready to go ahead? We take on the haggling with the listing agent, or do your bidding under the hammer, then go over every clause of the contract alongside you until the keys change hands at settlement.

Investors should focus on three numbers: achievable rent, holding costs and likely tenancy length. Malvern had just 19.0% of homes let in 2021, so its leasing market is modest, though a tidy family house can attract professional households. Any yield we quote is tested against what is advertised for lease nearby.

Distance buying, tenants and neighbouring suburbs

Living in another state or country? We attend inspections of shortlisted Malvern homes on your behalf, then report back on each through a filmed walkthrough or written notes.

Where the Malvern home is meant for tenants, Axiom’s property management team can arrange the lease and run the tenancy once you own it; see Malvern property management. Selling an existing home before you buy? Our Malvern sales agents can help.

Elsewhere in the inner south, we buy for clients in Unley Park, Highgate, Hyde Park, Netherby and Parkside.

Common Malvern Buyer’s Agent FAQs

Have a Question?

Condition first: roof, footings, damp, wiring and plumbing. Then planning: whether past additions were approved and whether an overlay limits what you can change. A building inspection and a PlanSA search cover most of it, and the contract gets our line-by-line read with you before you commit.

It can suit an investor focused on tenant quality and a long hold. At the 2021 Census, 59.3% of Malvern’s employed residents worked as professionals or managers. Whether one particular house delivers a fair yield rests on what you pay and the state it is in, two things we test before suggesting any house.

Car-based for most, with 57.7% driving at the 2021 Census. Bus commuters were 4.5% of workers, ahead of 3.1% statewide, cycling accounted for 2.5% and 15.8% worked from home.

Yes. Your ceiling is agreed with us in advance, we raise the paddle for you, and we stop once bidding overtakes the home’s value.

Our fees depend on the level of service you need. We discuss them up front at the first consultation and set them out in writing, with no hidden costs.
