How to sell an Investment Property in Melbourne

01

Calculate and document your rental yield

Gross yield = annual rent ÷ purchase price. Net yield = (annual rent − costs) ÷ purchase price. Document current rent, lease terms and typical annual expenses.

02

Commission a depreciation schedule

A current depreciation schedule from a quantity surveyor ($600–$800) documents all depreciable assets and adds calculable tax value for buyer decision-making.

03

Post on GOT ONE? to reach yield-focused buyers

Investment property buyers on GOT ONE? post their target yield, preferred suburb and property type. Match your property to active investor requests.

04

Prepare a full tenancy information package

Lease agreement, rental history, bond lodgement receipt, tenant references and property manager contact if applicable.

05

Complete settlement with a conveyancer

Investment property transfers may have CGT implications for the seller and land tax for the buyer. Ensure both parties seek appropriate tax advice.
