Is Surry Hills still a good investment in 2026?

Yes. Surry Hills remains a strong investment suburb because it combines limited housing supply, strong rental demand, transport access, Tech Central employment growth and long-term owner-occupier appeal.

What is the Metro premium in Surry Hills?

The Metro premium refers to the stronger buyer and tenant demand for properties close to Central, light rail and major transport connections. Properties within walking distance of these links are generally more liquid and easier to position.

What are the biggest risks for landlords in 2026?

The biggest risks are underpricing rent, weak tenant screening, poor maintenance, compliance mistakes and treating a premium asset like a basic rental. Heritage terraces and older strata buildings need particularly careful management.

Should I sell or hold my Surry Hills terrace?

If you do not need to sell, a well located Surry Hills terrace remains a strong long-term hold because of land scarcity and buyer depth. However, if your next move depends on releasing capital, strong buyer demand in 2026 may make it a good time to seek an updated appraisal.
