Paddington is one of Sydney’s most character-rich suburbs — Victorian terrace houses, gallery-lined streets and proximity to both the CBD and the eastern beaches. Whether you are buying a terrace or selling one, Collings Property Advisory gives you independent expert guidance for a flat $4,500 + GST.
Why Independent Advice Matters in Paddington
Paddington terraces sell quickly in strong markets and sit for months in flat ones. Buyers need to understand the difference between a fairly priced terrace and one that has been inflated by a clever auction campaign. Sellers need to know whether to auction, sell by negotiation or run a private campaign.
Common Mistakes in Paddington
- Buyers paying a premium for a heritage facade without checking the rear extension quality and strata implications
- Sellers choosing the agent with the highest appraisal rather than the best strategy
- Both sides underestimating the power of professional negotiation in a suburb where prices vary by $200k-$400k for the same street
