Your Trust.
Our Expertise.
Your Future.

Melbourne's boutique off-the-plan property advisory, guiding owner-occupiers, first home buyers, local investors, skilled migrants and global investors through every stage of their property journey with clarity, intelligence and genuine long-term care.

Melbourne's Off-the-Plan Property Specialists.

Nobilis Property Group is a boutique Melbourne property advisory focused exclusively on off-the-plan property. Our work is grounded in over two decades of experience across financial services and property, spanning development, investment and ownership, not just transactional sales. We act as a dedicated partner across the full purchase lifecycle, from initial strategy and property selection, through due diligence and contract assessment, to FIRB coordination, finance preparation and settlement management.

Melbourne is our home and our specialty, and our curation is expanding along Australia's East Coast. Sydney, Brisbane and Gold Coast opportunities are available on request as we grow our national portfolio.

Around every purchase we coordinate a network of independent licensed professionals, including mortgage brokers, property lawyers and migration agents, so you have specialist advice at every step without having to assemble the team yourself.

We work with a broad cross-section of Melbourne buyers: Australian residents purchasing their first home or a lifestyle property to live in, local investors building or growing a portfolio, skilled migrants navigating permanent residency pathways, and international buyers requiring FIRB support. Whoever you are, you get the same premium, personalised attention, not a sales pitch.

Our boutique model means we work with a select number of clients at any time. We handle the complexity of the off-the-plan process so you can make confident, informed decisions, from first conversation through to handover and beyond.

Answers to your most important questions.

Whether you're a local Australian buyer, owner-occupier, first home buyer or international investor, buying off-the-plan in Melbourne is different to purchasing established real estate. We've answered the questions we hear most often below.

Ask Us Directly

Buying off-the-plan means purchasing a Melbourne property before it is built, based on architectural plans and developer documentation. You pay a deposit now and settle when construction is complete, typically 1–4 years later. This structure can offer price advantages and time to arrange finance.

Key risks include valuation gaps at settlement, developer insolvency, construction delays and contract variations. Thorough due diligence on the developer, contract and Melbourne market conditions, which we provide, significantly reduces your exposure to these risks.

The Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) regulates property purchases by foreign nationals and some temporary residents in Australia. Most off-the-plan purchases by non-residents or temporary visa holders require FIRB approval prior to signing contracts. Nobilis works with professional bodies specialising in FIRB requirements, referring clients to and coordinating alongside the assigned professional to facilitate a smooth, compliant process as part of our end-to-end partnership.

Yes. Skilled migrants on permanent residency visas can purchase Melbourne property without FIRB approval. Temporary residents can purchase new dwellings (including off-the-plan) with FIRB approval. Each visa category has different conditions, we assess your situation specifically and map out the right pathway for you.

The full timeline from exchange to settlement generally ranges from 12 months to 4 years, depending on the Melbourne project stage at time of purchase. We provide clear milestone timelines at the outset so you can plan your finances and migration journey accordingly.

We are a boutique Melbourne property advisory, not a volume sales operation. Our focus is on strategy, due diligence and long-term outcomes, not transaction throughput. We work with a select number of clients at any time, which means our attention and advice remain substantive throughout your journey.

At settlement, your finance is drawn and you take ownership of the Melbourne property. We coordinate pre-settlement inspections, assist with any defect management and ensure you're financially prepared for the final payment. Post-settlement, we offer periodic portfolio check-ins and strategic planning as your property portfolio grows.

Absolutely. Off-the-plan is an excellent pathway for owner-occupiers in Melbourne. You lock in today's price, can often personalise finishes before build completion, and may benefit from Victoria's off-the-plan stamp duty concession. You also have time between exchange and settlement to fully prepare your finance. Nobilis works with owner-occupiers and investors equally, tailoring our advisory to your goals, whether that's a home to live in or a property to grow your wealth.

Yes. Victoria offers a stamp duty concession for eligible off-the-plan purchases where the property is not yet complete at the time of contract. The concession is calculated on the land value component only, which can result in significant savings, particularly for apartments and townhouses. Both owner-occupiers and investors may be eligible depending on the circumstances. We can refer you to a specialist conveyancer who will confirm your specific position and calculate your concession accurately.

The Victorian First Home Owner Grant (FHOG) may apply to off-the-plan purchases where the contract price falls within the current eligibility threshold. First home buyers purchasing a new dwelling, including off-the-plan apartments and townhouses, may also access stamp duty concessions or exemptions, significantly reducing upfront costs. Eligibility conditions apply and are subject to change. Nobilis can facilitate a referral to a qualified conveyancer or direct you to the State Revenue Office Victoria for a personalised assessment.

Melbourne is our specialty and where our curated portfolio is concentrated. We are also expanding our representation along Australia's East Coast, and Sydney, Brisbane and Gold Coast opportunities are available on request. Tell us where you are looking and we will let you know what we can offer there.

Yes, through our professional network. Nobilis coordinates independent licensed specialists around your purchase, including mortgage brokers, property lawyers and conveyancers, and registered migration agents, with further specialists engaged as needed. Each advises you independently in their own discipline. Nobilis itself does not provide credit, legal, migration, tax or financial advice.
