Hi there

You're right, for a non-permanent resident to purchase Melbourne (or for that matter any Australian) property you are limited to new (never leased before) or off the plan. This is a stipulation from the FIRB (Foreign Investment Review Board), I urge you to Google this as well by typing in "FIRB".

Having said that it leaves you with many, many opportunities. Many would argue that this is a better option because you don't have to contend with the typical issues of an older property.

I represent developers across all of Melbourne and have access to the widest range of new and off the plan properties in the one place. We've helped many overseas buyers secure a Melbourne apartment. Let me know if there is anything I can help you with. I've attached a "Property Request Form" below to better understand your needs.

Warm regards
