A commercial property needs to make sense for the buyer behind it. Your income objectives, business requirements, available capital and ownership structure all shape the brief.
Auswide helps turn that brief into a focused acquisition process from sourcing and assessment to negotiation and purchase support.
We start with a 15 minute Discovery Call to understand your requirements, where you are currently at in your property journey and determine if we can support you.
Our next step is a detailed consultation, where we take the time to understand your specific requirements and preferences. We ensure that all your expectations are thoroughly captured during this call. We endeavour to understand your finances to ensure the purchase fits within your vision and goals. If you are happy to proceed, we’ll begin the Onboarding process.
We have partnered up with a forecasting software called Gameplans through which we build a tailored plan for you based on your circumstances and the stays with you for life.
As part of this pillar, we will have an intensive consultation, analyse the input based on your goals, risk tolerance and financial capacity to customise a strategy to enable you to envision what one or more properties can do for you in the next 15-20 years.
Location, location, location…this is where we’ll discuss the next best areas that are poised for growth and provide good returns on investment. We’ll show you examples of properties researched, negotiated, and bought on behalf of our clients. Once we’ve agreed upon a region, we’ll provide you with detailed area reports. The outcome of this consultation is that we have a crystal-clear property brief so our acquisition team can begin the property search on your behalf and there is no room for ambiguity.
This is where our team takes over. Our acquisition team are busy fulfilling your property brief sourcing on- and off-market opportunities, leaving no stone unturned to ensure the property meets all necessary criteria.
Our 24-point property evaluation checklist covers critical aspects that most people dismiss or simply are not aware of. Comparative property analysis, rental yield calculations, video inspections and detailed reports are all part of this comprehensive due diligence phase.
This is where we select top 3% properties, negotiate with the selling agent on your behalf, ensuring you get the best possible deal. We, then, guide you through the process of signing the contract and liaise with all relevant parties, especially if the property is in another state, to handle the necessary inspections and reports.
Before settlement, we’ll introduce you to a local property manager to ensure your property is managed well. The property managers working with us will perform due diligence on existing tenants and if it is a vacant possession, timely advertise the property and ensuring a pre-settlement inspection is conducted.
Let’s celebrate! You’ve now bought a property. We don’t stop supporting you once you’ve settled. We’ll remain in regular contact with you over the ownership of your property to answer any questions you have and to provide you with comparable market analysis of your property. The entire process takes about 8 to 10 weeks.

All amounts are AUD. Yields and rental figures are historical and relate to acquisition. They are not total returns after all acquisition costs, finance and tax. Rental income, tenancy, valuations and future returns may change.
Buying commercial property through an SMSF brings an additional layer of decisions. The property search should follow a clear understanding of the fund’s strategy, liquidity, ownership structure and applicable rules.
Auswide’s reported acquisitions include an office in Norwest and a warehouse in Ingleburn with SMSF buying structures. The property brief should be developed alongside advice specific to your fund.
Auswide’s role on this page is property acquisition support. Financial, tax, legal and SMSF compliance decisions require appropriately qualified professional advice. No tax saving, fund suitability or investment outcome is promised.
Discuss your purpose, location, budget, timeframe and funding readiness. Agree the acquisition brief and service scope.
Explore properties against the brief and review the asset, lease information and acquisition fundamentals.
Coordinate due diligence with relevant advisers and negotiate the price and purchase terms.
Support the acquisition process alongside your solicitor, finance provider and other advisers.
A useful case study explains what was bought, what Auswide contributed and what the numbers actually describe.
Locations, asset types and purchase prices give each acquisition context.
Examples distinguish off-market sourcing, negotiation and the recorded purchase outcome.
Historical yields, asking-price reductions and proposed developments are described separately.
The next step is to discuss your requirements—not to assume that another buyer’s property suits you.
Discuss what you want to buy, where you want to buy and the support you need to move forward.
Useful details to bring:
Understand the service, the case study figures and what to discuss before buying.
A commercial buyers agent helps buyers define an acquisition brief, source and assess properties, negotiate terms and work through the purchase process. Auswide’s approach covers property sourcing, assessment, due diligence coordination and acquisition support. The scope and fees should be agreed before engagement.
Auswide can discuss a commercial property acquisition brief involving an SMSF. Whether a purchase is suitable or permitted depends on the fund’s circumstances, investment strategy and applicable rules. Your financial adviser, accountant and solicitor should confirm the structure and requirements before you commit.
Some arrangements involving business real property may be permitted, subject to the applicable SMSF rules and commercial terms. This is not automatic approval for a particular property or lease. Obtain advice on the asset, related-party arrangements and lease before proceeding.
The Ingleburn case study describes an off-market acquisition sourced through local agent relationships. Off-market opportunities depend on the brief and availability; access to a suitable property cannot be guaranteed.
The supplied campaign brief reports acquisitions across Queensland, Victoria, New South Wales and Western Australia. The selected examples on this page include industrial warehouses, retail property and development land. Discuss your preferred location and asset type during the strategy call.
The quoted net yields are historical figures reported at acquisition. For Rivervale, the supplied annual net rent of $55,300 divided by the $790,000 purchase price equals 7%. These figures are not total returns after all acquisition costs, borrowing costs and tax, and they do not predict future performance.
No. These are historical acquisition examples, not current listings or offers. They illustrate different buying briefs and reported transaction outcomes.
There is no minimum budget confirmed in the supplied material. The examples range from a $370,000 retail purchase to a $3 million land acquisition, but they do not establish current availability at those prices. Discuss your purchase budget, acquisition costs, funding readiness and property requirements with Auswide.
Timing depends on the brief, property availability, finance, due diligence and contract terms. The supplied material does not establish a standard timeframe. The strategy call is an opportunity to discuss your preferred timing and what may affect it.
Request a written proposal setting out the service scope, fees, payment stages and any applicable referral arrangements before engagement. No fee schedule was supplied for this page, so no price or payment model is assumed.
Bring an outline of your buying purpose, approximate budget, preferred location, asset type, timeframe and funding position. If you are buying through an SMSF or another structure, note which professional advisers are already involved.
