A property development team has helped a Sydney man make a romantic proposal under the guise of a final inspection.
Peter and his fiancée Cathie bought from The Hills Carmel in Box Hill, a decision that came after initially looking at houses around Schofields, Box Hill and Gables.
It was Peter’s first time buying real estate and the developers let him make his proposal to Cathie in the new house.
“Since we are starting a new life together, I thought what better opportunity than to propose in our new home,” he said.

“I spoke to the management team at The Hills of Carmel, decided and came up with an idea to bring Cathie here.
“We were about seven weeks into a 10-week settlement and told her we had to go back and check for definitive defects.”
Peter said the management team cleaned the house from top to bottom before their arrival and helped him set up games and quizzes throughout the house leading to a final box containing the engagement ring.

“When Cathie and I went to do our defect tour, I did the whole proposal,” he said.
“As we walked up the stairs there was music playing, each room had a question and a photo of us and at the end of the tour, if she got all the answers right, she could unlock the last box with the engagement ring.”
The quizzes were multiple choice, where the answers were numbers, and at the end of the house walk Peter had created a ring box with a combination lock, where the password was the numbers of the answers that formed the couple’s anniversary date.

Peter said they came across the project and viewed three houses after hours, one of which ended up being the house they bought.
“One of the standout features when we looked around the area and the estate itself was the amenities and the shops,” he said.
“We saw the master plan and it was detailed. We saw libraries, sports fields and playgrounds for young children as we plan to have children.
“We have a dentist, a physio, a doctor’s office – everything you can think of and need is within five minutes.”
