8 Swan St, Cooks Hill is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom House with 3 parking spaces and was built in 1915. The property has a land size of 385m2 and floor size of 124m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in December 2013.
First time offered in 30 years this brick and iron cottage has 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom in the original home, plus an outbuilding made up of a 3 car garage with granny flat above.
Ready for renovation, this property provides a fantastic base in a thriving area.
With the opportunity for dual occupancy through a self contained granny flat above the garage and dual street frontage for the property via Swan Street and Railway Street makes for a great investment opportunity.
This unique Cooks Hill home was snapped up by a qualified purchaser on the PRD Red Alert database, after instructions from the vendor to take buyers through without going fully on the market.
Occasionally a vendor will want to "test the water" with qualified buyers from the PRD Red Alert database, before going public.
At PRD, we believe strongly in marketing properties, but we also realise that each vendor has a different situation and we can cater for all.
In this case, due to the strength of the database, the buyer's were qualified and ready to go and the offer was strong enough for the vendor to sell immediately instead of going on the market.
If you're a seller who would like to discuss this further, call Mark Kentwell, Principal of PRD and fellow Cooks Hill resident about how this could work for you.
If you're a buyer who wants to make sure you're first in line for the next hot listings, register for Red Alert at www.prdnewcastle.com.au or simply call our agents to be added.
What does Preview mean?
When PRDnationwide properties are listed for "Preview" it generally means that have just been listed and you are amongst the first buyers in the market to be exposed to the property.
The vendors may not have formally set a price guide for the property at this stage as they may wish to gain further feedback from the market before doing so. Often they are gaining further feedback from the market to ensure they are being realistic with their price guide to enhance the chance of a swift sale when they go to the full Public Media Launch
What is the price guide?
Your friendly PRDnationwide agent will generally be able to provide you with a rough price guide for the property during the preview stage of marketing and can always update you on the formal price guide once it is ready to be published if it is substantially different from the Preview guide. If you have received an e-brochure about this property as part of PRD's Red Alert system, it is likely to be in the price range you have previously specified to us.
Can I buy a property during the Preview stage of marketing?
Absolutely! In fact up to 20% of PRDnationwide's properties sell in the Preview stage of marketing, often to the exclusive members of the PRD Red Alert buyer database.(register at www.prdnewcastle.com.au/red-alert? )
To give the best chance of securing a property before it makes it to the full Public Media Launch it is advised to offer towards the upper end of the pricing guide you have been given.
