When Does a Burleigh Heads Property Need Two Different Sale Stories?

A Burleigh Heads property containing both residential and commercial elements should not automatically be marketed like a standard home or a standard commercial investment. If you own a shop with accommodation, mixed-use premises or property capable of attracting both occupiers and investors, the campaign may need to explain two different forms of appeal.

The key is to keep both stories tied to the property’s verified use and documentation.

Identify exactly what is being sold

Start with the title, tenancy arrangements, floor areas, parking and available planning information. Separate residential accommodation from commercial areas clearly on photographs and floor plans.

If part of the property is leased, prepare the relevant tenancy information. If it is vacant, make that clear rather than advertising an assumed rental return.

Potential future uses should not be presented as existing approvals.

Match the information to the buyer

An owner-occupier may focus on visibility, access, parking and how the premises suit their operation. An investor may concentrate on tenancy, income, outgoings and future leasing flexibility.

Where residential accommodation is included, another buyer may value the ability to live close to their business or hold the property for a different reason.

The seller does not need to choose only one audience. The campaign needs to explain the different components without creating contradictory messages.

Frequently Asked Questions
