Oliver Hume Property Funds is one of Australia’s most reputable residential property funds. We manage high-quality property developments, with strong profit and return forecasts founded upon quality research and backed by an extensive, thorough and rigorous due diligence process.

By bringing investors together and pooling their capital, we can achieve a critical mass they can’t always reach individually. Investors can access large scale residential property developments and attractive returns without the stresses and uncertainties of doing it themselves.

Our aim is to match locations with quality products that are designed to be of the greatest appeal to the most affluent buyer, whether they are owner-occupiers or investors. By designing and delivering quality products with strong market appeal, we can aim for high returns for our Fund investors.

Oliver Hume Property Funds holds an Australian Financial Services Licence - number 247074 issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.

How does it work?

The most common question we’re asked by clients is ‘what is a Property Development Fund?’ The immediate answer is that it’s a corporate vehicle that gets you into property related investment easily, sometimes for as little as $25,000*.

Development is the process of adding value to a property by maximising its potential. When we do this, we create profit, and therefore a return that is attractive to investors. Therefore, the core of our process is maximising a property development’s potential by transforming land into subdivided lots then apartments or townhouses. At each stage, value is added.

The capital you invest is pooled with other investors’ capital to create a Development Fund that gives you easy investment access to an identified large-scale project, that is its own unique investment opportunity. Undeveloped land is bought at a wholesale price and the aim is that the project’s value can be steadily increased as our development and sales teams complete the design phase, construction and sale of the completed lots (or units) for their retail price. It’s here, where the final profit is realised. Your initial capital plus profits are distributed back to you and that Development Fund is closed.

Why property development funds?

With low official cash rates, many investors are looking to diversify into other investments. Real estate is an opportunity to achieve strong risk adjusted returns, yet successful property development funds can potentially achieve even higher returns for investors.

An investor might find the cost of direct property investment too high and beyond their means. By choosing Property Development Funds, you can access a range of large scale development projects that you may not be able to finance by yourself.
