UPDATE
WELCOME Welcome to 2016! Welcome to the Year of the Monkey and we hope it proves to be your year!
So if you’re moving, I want to be part of your journey.
The first quarter in any new year proves to be our busiest. This is because of transferees to Perth from the country, interstate and overseas.
Please call me today on 0411 429 069.
Kensington is a suburb that is always in demand due to its proximity to the city and great educational facilities. Primary, secondary, private and tertiary options are all close by. There is a good selection of property in all price ranges for buyers at prices lower than 8 years ago.
