Genuine Peninsula knowledge

Local knowledge you cannot get from a portal

The Mornington Peninsula is really a dozen different markets, and prices, demand and rental appeal shift street by street. Lou has owned a home on the Peninsula for years, so this is not a map exercise for us. We know the difference between a bay beach and a back beach, the hinterland pockets around Red Hill and Main Ridge, and which streets hold value when the market cools.

As buyers advocates we work only for you, and through our network we see quality homes that sell off-market before they are ever advertised.

On the Peninsula, the postcode is only the start. The street, the aspect and the walk to the beach are what you are really buying.

The LP Advisory approach
How we help you buy on the Peninsula

A clear path to the right weekender

We match the home to how you will actually use it, and we are honest about the numbers before you commit.

01

Understand the brief

How you will use it, a family weekender, a future retirement or an income-earning holiday let, plus your budget and the parts of the Peninsula that suit.

02

Search and shortlist

Including off-market and pre-market homes, which are common at the Peninsula’s better end.

03

Inspect and assess

We look hard at condition, coastal wear, land, aspect and the realistic short-stay appeal, not just the styling.

04

Check the numbers

We map out the holding costs and, if you plan to rent it, a realistic view of peak-season yield.

05

Negotiate and secure

At auction or private sale we negotiate hard so you buy well, not just quickly.

Why buyers choose LP Advisory

The whole team on your side

You get our full team, with genuine Peninsula knowledge at the centre of it. Lou, a former selling agent and auctioneer who has owned on the Peninsula for years, knows the market from the inside. Sharyn specialises in off-market property.

You have one point of contact from the first drive down to settlement.

Before you commit

What to weigh up with a holiday home

A place on the Peninsula is part lifestyle and part investment. Both deserve a clear-eyed look.

01

Location and pocket

Sorrento, Portsea, Blairgowrie, Flinders and the Red Hill hinterland each behave differently on price, demand and rentability. The right pocket is the single biggest decision, and it is where local knowledge earns its keep.

02

Lifestyle or yield, or both

A home you will use most weekends is a different buy from one you want earning income. We help you be clear on the trade-off before you commit, not after.

03

Holding costs and the levy

A holiday home does not get the land tax exemption your main home does, and Victoria’s short-stay levy of 7.5% applies to stays under 28 days if you let it out. Factor in insurance, maintenance and management too.

04

Scarcity, liquidity and resale

The best Peninsula stock is tightly held and sells thinly, especially off-season. Buying the right home in the right pocket protects both your enjoyment and your resale.

General information current as at July 2026. It is not financial or tax advice. Land tax, the short-stay levy and rental rules apply differently to each owner, so confirm your position with the State Revenue Office or your adviser.

Buying a holiday home on the Peninsula, your questions answered

+Which parts of the Peninsula do you cover?
All of it, from the bay beaches through to the back beaches and the Red Hill hinterland.
+Should I buy for lifestyle or investment?
Either, or both, but the right home depends on which. We help you decide before you start looking.
+Can you find homes that are not advertised?
Yes. A good share of quality Peninsula homes sell off-market, and that is where knowing the area and the agents matters.
+What are the ongoing costs?
Typically council rates, insurance, maintenance and land tax, plus the short-stay levy and management if you let it out. We map these out early.
+Can you help if I want to rent it out?
Yes. We factor realistic peak-season demand and the running costs into the numbers before you buy.
