The settled register
Every property. What it cost, what it’s worth now. Look them up.
Grant Bowie’s record, including work before Optio. Valuations as at September 2026.
Book an introductionHow a purchase is put together
A property is easy to fall in love with and hard to judge from a photograph. So the house comes last, once the parts that decide whether it is worth owning have had their turn.
Everything is shown before tax and against the assumptions stated beside it. Every figure is built from real data and analysis, and every assumption is stated so it can be tested. The case for a property rests on what can be checked, not on a view about the market.
What it costs to get in, what it costs to hold, the construction period, and depreciation shown at the three statutory tax brackets rather than at your rate.
Population and migration, jobs and infrastructure, supply and demand, and what comparable homes nearby have actually sold for.
The specification, the inclusions and colour schedule, the land and disclosure plan, and a rental appraisal from a local property manager.
Every settlement, published
Most firms show you three case studies. Here’s all of them.
| Address | Purchase price | Value today | Settled | Gain |
|---|
Purchase price is the total package price paid. Value today is CoreLogic’s estimate as at September 2026. Past performance is not a guide to future results.
What it costs you
Optio is paid by the seller when you purchase. There is no fee to you at any stage, and no fee if you decide not to proceed.
Takes your requirements, presents properties that meet them, prepares the supporting analysis, and coordinates your purchase through to settlement and handover.
Optio is not appointed as your buyers agent. It does not provide legal, taxation or financial advice, and it does not build the properties.
Optio researches the market and works with builders, land developers and agents that meet its criteria. It presents the options and you decide. You may stop at any time.
In their own words
Quoted from Optio’s public Google listing. Every person and every property is different, so these are their experiences rather than a prediction of anyone else’s.
Anyone can show you three good outcomes. The only way to judge a record is to see all of it, including the purchases that have not moved and the ones bought at the top. Every address here can be looked up.
