Don't trust what you see online!

Ex-pats and interstate buyers who rely on selling agents and internet photos of properties for accurate, unbiased information risk being misled.

Photographs are taken in ways that show the property in its best possible light (in fact usually with artificial light). There is no substitute for personal inspections.

Most online images are misleading, creating the illusion of space or an outlook that doesn’t exist as shown, so much so that you will notice from time to time the words “Actual View” on a photo. If they were all un-edited images in the first place then selling agents wouldn't feel the need to include such words on select photos!

Internet pictures cannot accurately reflect the property’s surroundings and the feel or atmosphere of the suburb. Marketing photos don’t show value-affecting neighbouring properties and may conceal how little privacy the bedrooms, deck or back yard offers.

To achieve a successful outcome, ex-pats and interstate buyers need to engage a reliable local property expert to represent their interests.

EPS Property Search regularly buys properties for interstate buyers, ex-pats and permanent residents based overseas. We know they require accurate, reliable updates and quality independent advice for confident buying.

In many cases, ex-pats want to buy a home to come back to after their posting is over. In the meantime, EPS can secure a high level rental return through our property management division. We can even project-manage any necessary property renovations.

EPS is your one stop shop for stress-free interstate and ex-pat buying.
