Answers to What Sydney Buyers Ask Us Most

From auctions to borrowing power, these are the questions we hear most from Sydney buyers. Can’t find yours here? Get in touch and we’ll point you to the right guide.

Do I need a buyers agent to buy property in Sydney?
Not necessarily — but for time-poor, out-of-area, or first-time buyers, a buyers agent can add real value in search, negotiation, and avoiding costly mistakes. See our guide on how buyers agents work.
How much deposit do I actually need?
It depends on the loan and whether you’re eligible for schemes like the First Home Guarantee, which can reduce the deposit requirement for eligible buyers. See our First Home Guarantee guide.
What’s the difference between buying at auction and private treaty?
Auction sales are unconditional with no cooling-off; private treaty allows negotiation and conditions. Full comparison in our auction vs private treaty guide.
Is rentvesting a good strategy for first-home buyers?
It can be, if you’re priced out of your preferred suburb but want to start building equity now. See our rentvesting guide.
