James Home Ratings Explained
What Is Property Ratings and What Can It Do for You?
Property Ratings helps you cut through the noise by giving you structured, independent opinions on homes—based on Price, Property, and Position. Instead of sales hype or vague gut feel, you get a clear, simple system to understand what you’re really buying or selling. It helps you clarify what you want, measure what’s in front of you, and decide how to move forward. Whether you’re unsure, overwhelmed, or just need a second opinion, ratings provide a trusted framework so you can act with confidence, not confusion. It’s your lens. Your compass. Your edge.

INDEPENDENT COMMENTARY
1
PPPs – Price, Property and Position in general - with particular emphasis on street and land.
2
Detailed analysis of the plusses and minuses of the property including potential to improve via renovation and dealbreakers for overcapitalisation.
3
We look at cash growth and risk issues in the short and long term.
4
We go in to how we think this home vs others matches your emotional physical and financial needs now and into the future.
5
And more such as, heritage and pest and building and council and covenants and easements - but we do finish with a simple summary and clear yes or no recommendations around offers, strategy and tactics and indeed whether we should pursue or not.
6
Of course, these are just expert opinions - but in the end you decide and we carry out your instructions.
