Sold Dinsdale · Hamilton Buyers Agency

Long Term Landbank

11 Edith Place, Dinsdale, Hamilton

Deal won through Buyer’s Agency

We bought this one for a client.

My buyer for this property is a Kiwi living overseas who wanted to buy a stand alone home on a large section with potential to subdivide in the future (10 years' time).

Land was the key criteria here, as well as a low maintenance dwelling that would attract good tenants.

Their budget was mid $700k, so I went about searching for the best opportunity. I identified a number, both on and off market. This off market option presented the best value, and with vendors motivated to sell due to work obligations in a different city, an agreement was reached without any market competition. I assisted with due diligence throughout the purchase process as my client was travelling through Europe at the time. Having key local contacts and knowledge made the process seamless and easy.

In the client’s words

In May 2025 I was introduced to Ben Meehan (through Nick Gentle) as my Hamilton-based property investment specialist for iFindProperty, as we had decided to buy an investment property in Hamilton.

I live in Asia and all of our communications were via email, video calls and by phone.

Ben began the search for a property (based on our brief) and he could not have been a better match for our needs as buyers. Within a few weeks he had presented multiple properties and talked us through all the pros and cons for each one. In late June, we had decided on a property to purchase.

At this stage we had just started a 6-week trip around Asia and Europe (not an ideal time to be processing a property purchase) and Ben went above and beyond his role as a property specialist, while dealing with 9/10-hour time differences.

Ben organised property files, LIM reports and arranged a reputable building inspector to inspect and report on the property etc. He also walked me through digitally signing the purchase agreement (signed on a mobile phone), while negotiating a 10-hour time difference etc. No easy feat.

He negotiated with the vendors for a price reduction and made all arrangements for Healthy Home inspections/reports, as well as getting information from the vendors along the way. He then arranged building quotes for HH compliance work.

Ben then recommended property management companies to choose from, which I am very happy with.

This whole process with Ben went until well after settlement (in August). He was involved in and offered help all the way through, and I couldn’t have asked for a more committed and dedicated property specialist. He truly went over and above his role as a property finder. I cannot recommend Ben highly enough. Thank you, Ben for helping me buy a property from afar. It is a lot of trust to put in someone and I was so glad that that trust could be put in you.
