BUYER TESTIMONIAL
Quite simply, we wouldn't have bought the house without you. We wouldn't have heard about the property, wouldn't have looked at it, wouldn't have clearly assessed its short and long term potential for us, and certainly wouldn't have secured the property at a very hotly contested auction! We are both very metho...

Adam WoledgeAdam 's Comments on 57 Swallow Street, PORT MELBOURNE
"Great house - pretty from the street and it just gets better as one walks through. This is one of the best rear extensions I have seen this year - and it is not new yet still works very, very well. Light and ceiling heights are the key here - how often do we see rear extenstions with lower ceiling heights than the original house (the answer is mostly) - in this case the room volumes almost dwarf the original house and light is brought in via a lot of clever and unexpected ways. Given the location (fringe Beacon Cove) this offering is a little unexpected and a pleasant surprise. Very good potential car access to the rear and backyard is private and spacious."

"Looking at values
160 Clark Street - over the city side of Graham Street (away from water). Bought in November 2009 for $1,645,000 prior to auction. Classy feel for home, good rear access, double fronted period home. On 2/3rds the land (260sqm) and no back yard. Does have a second storey.
1 Orcades Mews: 320 sq metres on the corner of Swallow with a Mirvac home on it - two storey. Sold in December for $1,562,000. Doesn’t have that period flavour or yard space.
138 Danks St: Weaker position arguably. Similar land size. Not a classy a house. Sold for $1,705,000 at Auction in Feb 2010. "

27th Mar 2010 - Auction Report - 57 Swallow Street, PORT MELBOURNE
BOUGHT* - $2,260,000
This was always going to be a record breaking auction with the quality of offering. Auctioneer Tony McGeehan was in fine form all the way through and his style worked well – in fact I thought he ran a very good auction – well paced, friendly and humorous. Opening bid of $1,800,000 - quickly playing for keeps with the 4 bidders over $2,000,000 before finally ...

Explanations & Disclaimers
Bought* - Indicates property has been bought. We are a buyer rating company and a buyer advocate company only, and we use the word bought instead of sold to give the website a buyer flavour. We do not buy all the properties listed on this website, therefore we often rely on an advertised price or the selling agent to indicate the bought price and occasionally the result may be inaccurate.
