Buying property in Australia (nuances)

It is possible to buy any type of real estate: both commercial and residential. A foreign investor has the right to buy only new housing, although he is allowed to purchase commercial real estate on the secondary market. In order to purchase housing in Australia, you must obtain permission from the Office of Foreign Investment. It does not need to be obtained by non-residents investing in the primary market from developers who have a certificate for the sale of objects to foreigners.

Investors are usually focused on large cities or small settlements with beautiful natural scenery. Canberra, although the capital, is not very popular, as it does not have access to the coast. For those who want to live in a metropolis, it is better to prefer Sydney. For those who like partying - Melbourne, a quiet lifestyle - Brisbane (with developed infrastructure), who choose to live on the coast - Gold Coast (the city is good for renting out housing).

Foreign investors are interested in commercial real estate (office and retail space) in big cities, they prefer hotels in places located on the coast.

Construction in the country is carried out taking into account natural and climatic conditions. Most houses are built of brick, with the exception of skyscrapers.

Purchasing real estate in Australia is a promising investment for generating rental income, living in a free, migrant-tolerant country with a comfortable climate and a developed economy.
