Understanding the Fine Print: How Our Contract & Profit Share Works

At Your Property Profits, we know that the idea of “renovate now, pay later” sounds almost too good to be true. Sellers often ask: what’s the catch?

The short answer: there isn’t one. Our profit-share model is designed to be transparent, fair, and safe. We put everything in writing, so you know exactly how it works from start to finish.

Here’s a clear breakdown of how our contracts are structured – and why homeowners across Canberra trust us with their biggest asset.

Our model is simple: we invest our time, expertise, and upfront costs into renovating your property. Once the property sells:

1. Sale proceeds go to your solicitor’s trust account.
2. Renovation costs are repaid from settlement funds.
3. Profit is shared according to the agreed percentage.

This way, you don’t pay a cent until your property sells – and because our profits depend on the success of your sale, we’re motivated to maximise your return.

We work under contracts reviewed by Access Canberra guidelines and comply with ACT Fair Trading requirements. All funds are processed transparently through your solicitor, so you’re always protected.

In fact, your solicitor oversees the money – not us. That means you retain control of the sale process and proceeds at all times.

Every home and seller is unique, so our contracts are tailored. For example:

• If you prefer, you can pay renovation costs upfront instead of profit share.
  
• If you only want specific rooms renovated (say, just the bathroom and kitchen), we can adjust the contract scope accordingly.
  
• If the home doesn’t sell for the expected price, you’re not left with surprise invoices – our agreements include safeguards.

We keep you informed with:

• Regular progress updates and budget tracking.
• Clear documentation of costs, invoices, and approvals.
• Copies of all building approvals and certificates (a big plus when buyers’ solicitors review paperwork).

Transparency builds trust – and that’s the foundation of how we work.

For Canberra homeowners, our profit-share model has several advantages:

• No need for risky bridging loans or dipping into savings.
• Lower stress knowing professionals are invested in your success.
• A true partnership – we only win when you do.

Our clients love that this model takes the financial pressure off while still delivering a high-quality renovation tailored to the Canberra market.

What happens if the home doesn’t sell?

If the property is withdrawn or doesn’t sell, costs are still recouped – but we work with you and your solicitor to create solutions that minimise stress.

Is my money safe?

Yes. All sale proceeds go through your solicitor’s trust account, in line with ACT legal requirements.

Can I choose my own real estate agent?

Absolutely. We work alongside your chosen agent, or can recommend trusted local agents if you’d like.

What if I only want a small renovation?

We can tailor the scope – whether it’s just a cosmetic refresh or a full transformation.

At Your Property Profits, we believe in win-win outcomes. Our contracts and profit-share model are designed to give you peace of mind, while ensuring your property achieves the best possible result.
