Do research oncustom builders

WHETHER you arelooking at buying orbuilding a customhome, understanding ifyou’re dealing with areal custom home-builder or knowing if areal custom home-builder built the houseis critical to gettingvalue for money.

According to themanaging director of New Home Building Bro-kers,Tristan Kirkham, many Perth builders arenot genuine custom home builders and do notdeserve to be called this, regardless of what theyclaim.

“These Perth builders build project homes inmass volume and don’t have the required servicelevels, attention to detail, experienced staff orunique specifications to be studied properly toavoid oversights and disappointment,’’ he said.

Here are Tristan’s top five tips to ensure youare dealing with a real custom home builder.1) Find out how many homes per year thebuilder is building, and who has built the proper-ties up for sale.2) Ask to have a look at the specification andplans of past and current clients and also confirmsuppliers the Perth builder has used.3) Ask whether the engineering detail was froma volume project builder company (templateengineering) or from a custom engineering com-pany.4) Ask for an updated price for constructionfrom the builder who built the home and also forany plan a builder is showing in a folder beforesigning up.5) Most importantly, check on forums and to seeif the builder has any matters before the BuildingDisputes Tribunal.

To ensure you are getting the highest standardof Perth custom home, contact the team at NewHome Building Brokers today on www.nhbb.com.au or call 1300 383 262 for furtherinformation. ■

Ask builders to show you theevidence behind their claims

Buying on coast safe as houses

IF you want to secure long-term capitalgrowth, property investors and first-homebuyers should look at the coast.

According to O’Rourke Realty Invest-ments principal Rory O’Rourke, Perth’scoastal suburbs have performed extremelywell over the past few years.

“With over 40 years’ personal experi-ence in the property market, this experi-ence has shown me that location, location,location is the key driver of wealth creationthrough property investment,’’ he said.

“During the last decade, for example, themedian price of a home along the Perthcoastal strip stretching from Scarboroughto Burns Beach has increased on average byat least 11 per cent each year.

“Investors should also consider that thiscapital growth does not take into accountthe considerable increase in weekly rents inthis area of Perth during the same period.”

Mr O’Rourke said success in the proper-ty market was achieved by ‘stayers’ not‘players’, meaning buyers should focus onthe fundamental issues driving property val-ues, such as the increasing focus on lifestyle.

“The walking distance to the beach isnow a major price driver for coastal prop-

erties and properties which are within 10minutes walk of the beach are poised forstrong capital growth during the comingdecade,’’ he said.

According to Mr O’Rourke, the growthin property values in Scarborough andCottesloe highlights the importance ofsocial infrastructure such as cafes andrestaurants when buying a coastal property,and buyers should always check if there areany future commercial developmentsplanned, as this can have a major impact onfuture property values.

Mr O’Rourke added that ocean viewsadded hundreds of thousands of dollars tothe value of a property and buyers shouldconsider engaging an architect who can

provide advice on maximising the oceanviews when designing a home.

“While all Perth coastal suburbs haveenjoyed strong growth rates over the lastdecade, try to identify coastal suburbs thatmay be undervalued,’’ he said.

“This is because house prices betweensuburbs do not move in a uniform pattern.For example, during the past year, the medi-an price of a home in Trigg increased byover 11 per cent, while in Watermans Bay,the median house price rose by just over 4per cent.

“Older unrenovated homes in lowerpriced coastal suburbs such as Craigie andHeathridge can be purchased at near landvalue.” ■

Scammers targeting real estate marketIF you are trying to sell your home via the internet, be warnedabout scammers who are targeting private property sellers online.

WA ScamNet has seen this method of fraud used on people sell-ing cars, computer consoles and other items and said the latestconcern was the real estate market.

Consumer Protection Commissioner Anne Driscoll said thisoften involved a bogus buyer approaching a seller stating that theywish to make a purchase from overseas.

“The scammer requests the seller to pay a fee on their behalf,supposedly to facilitate the sale in some way,’’ she said.

“They then will ask for the money to be transferred by wire,knowing that this method is virtually untraceable.

“Alternatively, the scammer may suggest payment via a securepayment system, but provides electronic links which take the sellerto a fake version of a legitimate payment system site.

“Home sellers need to be aware that in a property transaction,there should be no legitimate reason for the seller to outlay moneyon behalf of the purchaser.”

Ms Driscoll said while sellers stand to lose money, their proper-ty ownership should not be jeopardised.

“Unlike recently reported real estate scams which posed a riskto land ownership and title exchange, this scam does not threatenproperty ownership, but instead defrauds sellers of money,’’ shesaid. ■

Requests from buyers to outlay money on their behalf should ring alarm bells for sellers

an eye-catching feature of this space.Two minor bedrooms on this level

share a bathroom and are convenient tothe open-plan living area, including thewell-equipped kitchen, and a pergola witha built-in barbecue at the back.

Upstairs is a third living area with bi-fold doors to another balcony with stun-ning ocean views.

The perfect blend of style and substanceBEING a stylist, homeowner Victoria Persichhas an incredible eye for detail, and it shows inthe finer points of her exotic Sorrento home.

An eclectic combination of high end andrecycled vintage materials elevates the housefrom predictable beachside residence to ahome of style and substance.

“I like to mix and match materials and piecesfrom all different areas,” she said.

“It creates a timeless appeal, which is impor-tant because style is always evolving and youdon’t want a house that dates quickly.

“I’ve designed this house to be the type thatyou can easily change to give it a whole differ-ent look.”

‘Designed’ simplifies the process Ms Persichundertook, completely gutting and renovatingthe house after buying it eight years ago.

There is a distinct Eastern influence to theinterior decor, with intricate light fittings fromMorocco, Indian-style textiles and enamel shut-ters, Balinese and Baltic carved wood doorsand kitchen cabinetry, and a bright and boldMediterranean-style colour scheme of burntorange, umber and terracotta tones.

Testament to the ability of Ms Persich totransform a home are the incredible split-levelgardens that surround the house.

From tea parties to birthdays and barbecues,the extensive outdoor space has played host toa range of events and could easily accommo-date more than 300 people.

An elevated thatched gazebo has stairs to asunken formal garden.

Here, a central tiered water feature spillsinto a pond.

Established trees, including white fig, grapefruitand olive trees, dot the perimeter of the proper-ty and complement a secluded vegetable garden.

Shade sails offer some cover to a saltwaterpool at the back, and an alternative master suite

opens to a private brick paved courtyard. Anundercroft garage has space for two cars, but anextra four vehicles can park securely behindelectronic gates.

Additional features include an Oregon and

steel kitchen, Western Red Cedar blindsthroughout, and Spanish mosaic Terracotta tilefeatures.

It is on a 712sq m block with subdivisionpotential, and rear lane and side access. ■

Tri-level townhouse has more than the usualOUTDOOR space and privacy are rarely associatedwith grouped dwellings, but are just two of the benefitsof this tri-level townhouse.

For maximum privacy, the residence is at the end ofthe secure complex and has the added bonus of inlandviews from a balcony at the front, as the vista is notimpeded by any neighbouring homes.

Access to the house is via a shopper’s entry to theground floor from the triple undercroft garage or tothe first floor from the street entry, with parking at thefront for guests.

A light, bright colour scheme, timber floorboardsand high ceilings achieve a sense of space throughout.

The first floor is dedicated to living space.From the lounge room at the front, a hallway leads

to the open-plan kitchen, meals and family zone, with

sliding doors at one end to a large north-facing balcony.There is plenty of space to entertain outside, and a

patio offers some protection from the elements.A streamlined aesthetic characterises the kitchen.It has stone bench tops, white lacquered cabinetry

and an integrated dishwasher, stainless steel Blancoappliances and opaque glass splashbacks.

On the second floor, two minor bedrooms share abathroom with a separate bath and shower.

Textured wallpaper on a feature wall in the masterbedroom draws the eye and makes a stylish statement.

This room also has a walk-in robe, an ensuite with astone-topped dual vanity and access to a private bal-cony overlooking the gated courtyard at the front.

Extras include a laundry on the ground floor and apowder room off the living areas. ■

TAKING its cues from cube-style archi-tecture, this house captivates with splash-es of contrasting colour on exterior wallsthat create shape and definition.

Coupled with ultra-modern design fea-tures, the low-maintenance nature of the460sqm survey strata property makes ithard to go past.

Built a year ago, it is the ultimate in con-temporary beachside homes and its prox-imity to beaches and cafes makes it idealfor buyers looking for a lifestyle property.

To capitalise on available space, thehouse has a long, narrow design thatincorporates four bedrooms and threebathrooms across two levels.

Its street appeal is undeniable, and itscharacter and class flow inside to contin-ue the crisp aesthetic.

This is achieved through the prolific useof contemporary materials and finishes,such as crushed marble floor tiles, highcoffered ceilings with shadowline cornicesand glass and stainless steel in the kitchen.

The position of the open-plan livingareas on the first floor takes advantage ofocean views.

Streamlined and functional, the kitchenhas Corian bench tops that complement

the white gloss cupboards, glass splash-backs and stainless steel Blanco appli-ances, including two ovens.

For space and privacy, there is goodseparation between the bedrooms and liv-ing areas, with three bedrooms on theground floor and one on the first floorconvenient to a study or fifth bedroom.

A guest room or alternative masterbedroom on the ground floor has its ownensuite,while the minor bedrooms on thislevel share a bathroom.

As well as a patio with café blinds at theback of the house, there is an enclosedinside/outside entertaining space with fullkitchen facilities on the first floor.

Oversized glass sliding doors connectthis space to the living areas on one sideand the master wing, with a walk-in robe,ensuite and powder room, on the otherside. ■

Artful and eco-friendlyATTENTION grabbing design features setthis home apart from its contemporary fel-lows.

There is an artistry to the way the boldcolour scheme and use of clashing materialsshapes the façade.

Two-tone rendered walls stand out againstrough-cut stone and corrugated iron-cladwalls.

An angled roof and pitched portico struc-ture add definition and edge, while native gar-dens complement the Australiana-vibe of thehouse.

Sustainable principles governed the designof the solar passive house, which is on a700sqm block.

Positioned to capture warmth, the northfacing living areas have polished concreteflooring that absorb heat in the wintermonths.

To offset the effect of the heat in warmermonths, this side of the house has wide eaves

to keep sunlight out. There are two solar sys-tems; one for hot water, which is gas boostedfor winter, and a photovoltaic system thatconverts solar energy into electricity.

Water wise plants and small grassed areaskeep the garden low maintenance, and under-ground irrigation minimises evaporation.

An 8000-litre rainwater tank reticulates avegetable patch and a cover to the 19-metrelap pool reduces evaporation and theamount of chemicals needed to keep thewater clean.

The house itself has three separate livingareas, including a home theatre room.

Entertaining is a stylish affair, thanks to thewood fired oven and gas points for a barbe-cue in the back yard and the sleek kitchen,which features stone bench tops, Kleenmaidappliances such as an upright stove, coffeemachine and dishwasher, and a walk-in pantry.

Extras include a security alarm, ducted air-conditioning and an audio visual intercom. ■

Warm in winter, cool in summer, reports COURTNEY NOTTE

Relaxed approval criteria and interest rate both hold good news for buyersACCORDING to propertyexperts, this month’s announce-ment from the Reserve Bank tokeep interest rates as they are isgreat news for homebuyers.

Many lending institutions arealso relaxing their approval criteriawhich is providing some welcomerelief for property buyers andhope for sellers.An example is theGovernment-funded KeystartHome Loan, which recently adjust-

ed its required deposit to only 4per cent, with 2 per cent to begenuine savings for approval.

“This will provide both hope andopportunity for first-home buyerstrying to enter the market. Andwhen first-home buyers enter themarket, it stimulates the rest of thereal estate market – the first step toa market recovery,’’ said ShaneKempton,director of sales and mar-keting for 4Land Property Group.

“Your first home is the typicallythe hardest one to get into, butonce you are in the system andyou service your mortgage appro-priately, there are generally lesshoops to jump through when bor-rowing for your second or thirdhome in the future.

“If a homebuyer who qualifiedfor a Keystart Home Loan waslooking at a property or house andland package to the value of

$350,000 (maximum propertyvalue for a Keystart Home Loanbelow the 26th Parallel is$400,000), they would be requiredto have a minimum deposit of$14,000, of which $7000 wouldneed to be proven savings.This canbe achieved by putting away $135per week for 12 months.”

When you consider that thereis still a $7000 First Home BuyersGrant, stamp duty concessions and

some fantastic builder and landdeveloper incentives available, thegap between renting a home tobuying one is finally starting toclose for first-home buyers.

“The Australian dream of homeownership is now becoming moreof a reality. There is still more thatcan be done to stimulate the mar-ket by those who influence it, butwe are starting to head in the rightdirection,’’ Mr Kempton said. ■
