Our customers are everyday Australians who are interested in investing in property as a way to achieve their financial goals. They may be first-time investors or experienced investors who are looking to add to their portfolio.

Handle's rental guarantee is included in our end-to-end service. It provides added assurance to our customers that their investment will generate consistent and stable income, even if it takes a little bit longer to find a tenant.

Here's how the rental guarantee works: If you use our end-to-end service and you're unable to find a tenant for your investment property within one month of purchase, we'll cover your rent for up to 6 months until you find someone.

For example, let's say you purchased a property where we had estimated the market rent to be $500. If it takes you 3 months to find a tenant, we'll cover your rent for the entire 3-month period and pay you the market rent of $500. This rent will be paid into your preferred bank account on a monthly basis.

The rental guarantee gives you the added assurance that you'll receive stable and steady rent when you invest with Handle, even if it takes a little bit longer to get the right tenant. It's just one of the many ways that we help our customers achieve their investment goals with confidence.

Not a problem, we can help you get your finances in order.

Trust is an important factor when it comes to investing in property. We take our responsibility very seriously and strive to earn our customers' trust through transparency, honesty, and professionalism.

Here are a few ways that we build trust with our customers:

We provide transparent and accurate information: We believe in providing our customers with accurate and transparent information so that they can make informed decisions about their investments. We strive to be upfront and honest about all aspects of the property buying process, including any potential risks or challenges.

We have a team of experienced professionals: Our team is made up of experienced property experts and professionals who have a deep understanding of the Australian property market. They are committed to helping our customers achieve their investment goals with confidence.

We offer a rental guarantee: Our rental guarantee is just one of the many ways that we help our customers achieve their investment goals with confidence. It provides added assurance that their investment will generate consistent and stable income, even if it takes a little bit longer to find a tenant.

We have a track record of success: We have a track record of helping our customers find and buy high performing properties as investments. We pride ourselves on our ability to deliver great results for our customers and we strive to maintain a high level of customer satisfaction.

We believe that trust is earned through consistent and transparent actions, and we work hard every day to earn the trust of our customers.

The End-to-End service costs 2% of the property price inclusive of GST, with a minimum fee of $15,000. You can get started with a $3,000 deposit. If we are unable to find recommendation that meet your minimum requirements in the first 14 days, we'll refund your deposit in full.

At Handle, we recommend high performing independent properties as investment opportunities for our customers. This means that we look for properties that have strong capital growth potential and strong rental yield, and which are likely to generate strong returns for our customers over the long term. We also look for suburbs that will benefit from significant infrastructure investments or are poised to have population growth as these are often indicators of areas that outperform. 

Unlike other agencies, we don't recommend off-the-plan properties, which are properties that are still under construction and are sold before they are completed. Off-the-plan properties typically come with a price premium and may not always offer the same level of capital growth or rental yield as established properties.

Instead, we focus on finding established properties that are already built and which have a proven track record of generating strong returns. We believe that these types of properties offer a more reliable investment opportunity and are less risky than off-the-plan properties.

At Handle, we recommend properties located all around Australia. This means that we have a wide range of properties available for our customers to choose from, regardless of where they are located.

We understand that property investment is a personal decision and that different investors have different preferences when it comes to location. Some investors may prefer properties located in major cities, while others may be interested in properties located in regional or rural areas.

To cater to these diverse preferences, we have a range of properties available in different locations across Australia. This typically includes properties located in major cities such as Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide, as well as properties located in regional and rural areas.

The first step is to schedule a call or video chat with one of our property experts. During this call, you'll have the opportunity to discuss your investment goals and preferences in more detail and learn more about the services we offer. You don't have to pay anything until you're happy with our process and ready to move forward.

The next step will be to start working with your property expert to find the right investment property. This will involve setting up a budget and identifying your investment preferences, as well as reviewing the available properties on the market. Your property expert will help you find properties that meet your investment criteria, and you'll have the opportunity to review and select the property that you want to invest in.

Once you've selected a property, your property expert will work with you to complete all necessary inspections and checks, negotiate with the seller, and secure the best loan for your needs. They'll also help you find a tenant for your property and provide ongoing support and assistance throughout the entire process.

If you have your own lawyer or mortgage broker, you are generally free to use them when investing in property with Handle.

In the end-to-end service, we can assist with finding a lawyer and mortgage broker if you don't already have one. However, if you prefer to use your own lawyer or mortgage broker, you are welcome to do so. We understand that some investors may have established relationships with legal or financial professionals and may prefer to use their services when investing in property.

It's important to note that if you choose to use your own lawyer or mortgage broker, you will be responsible for any fees associated with their services. This is something to consider when budgeting for your property investment.

Overall, the choice of whether to use our recommended professionals or your own is entirely up to you. Our goal is to provide you with the support and assistance you need to achieve your investment goals, and we are happy to work with you and your preferred professionals to make that happen.

End-to-end service: you'll pay the 2% fee in two payments, $3,000 upfront and the remaining upon settlement of your property, and calculated based on the purchase price. This covers the entire buying process including help finding the right property, conducting inspections, negotiating with the seller, securing the best loan, and finding a tenant.

Depending on your situation the final balance of may be able to be funded from your mortgage upon settlement.

After you secure a property there are a few key steps that will happen next.

First, you'll need to complete the settlement process for the property. This involves transferring the purchase price to the seller, as well as any other fees and charges associated with the property transaction. Your lawyer or conveyancer will handle this process on your behalf and will ensure that everything is done correctly and in a timely manner.

Once the settlement process is complete, the property will be officially transferred to your ownership. At this point, you'll need to arrange for any necessary insurance to protect your investment.

If you are using our end-to-end service, we'll also help you find the right tenant for your property. This may involve working with a property management company to advertise the property, screen potential tenants, and complete any necessary paperwork.

Overall, our goal is to make the process of buying and managing an investment property as easy and stress-free as possible for you. We'll be with you every step of the way to provide support and guidance so that you can focus on achieving your investment goals.

At Handle, we do not recommend off-the-plan properties as investment opportunities for our customers.

Off-the-plan properties are properties that are still under construction and are sold before they are completed. They may come with a price premium, and they may not always offer the same level of capital growth or rental yield as established properties.

Furthermore developers who market the, off-the-plan properties, pay large hidden commissions to real estate agents. Unless these commissions can be rebated back to investors, we will not advocate for off-the-plan properties.

Instead, we focus on finding established properties that are already built and which have a proven track record of generating strong returns. We believe that these types of properties offer a more reliable investment opportunity and are less risky than off-the-plan properties.
