The client’s brief

The client engaged MPS for a full Buyer Advocacy service, seeking a period home in an outstanding location around Ivanhoe East or Eaglemont, with a budget below $2 million.

The home: 4 Beauview Parade, Ivanhoe East

A 1940s clinker-brick home in the Beauview Estate, the property offered the period character and established location at the centre of the client’s brief.

  • Accommodation: five bedrooms, two bathrooms and a lock-up garage.
  • Land: approximately 595 m² on a corner allotment.
  • Character: timber detailing, leadlight windows and timber floors.
  • Location: close to Ivanhoe East Village, shops and parkland.

Property features are summarised from the Miles Real Estate listing. MPS represented the buyer; Miles represented the seller.

Local knowledge that informed the negotiation

Understanding property values in the area was central to Mark’s approach. That knowledge informed his assessment of the property and enabled him to negotiate firmly with the selling agent to reduce the purchase price.

The focus remained on the client’s priorities: the right style of home, a desirable location and a purchase within the agreed budget.

The outcome

The private-sale purchase was successfully agreed in September 2026, with the home secured below the client’s $2 million budget. The exact purchase price and the clients’ names remain private.

This purchase illustrates how a clearly defined brief and informed, independent negotiation can support a buyer through an important property decision. Each purchase is different; this case study describes one client’s outcome.
