ADDING VALUE: HOW TO MAKE YOUR GARDEN LOOK BIGGER

Home values are based in part on size and it is always a good idea when planning a home improvement project to maximise the impression of space. If your home has narrow side garden or a small backyard hemmed in by the neighbour’s fence, try these tricks of the trade for creating an illusion of size.

Define your “rooms.” Subdivide the garden into areas with different uses, such as a paved area for dining and a small lawn for the children.

Draw the eye up. Select tall, narrow shrubs and trees to create a sense of vertical spaciousness.

Use large pavers: As a general rule, the bigger the paver and plainer the pattern, the more open the space will appear.

Introduce a level change. This adds visual interest and could be a single step, a low wall or raised garden bed.

Simplify the plants: Use a few large plants rather than a mass of little ones.

Push the space out. Add a strong accent such as a large coloured pot or water feature at the end of the garden to maximise the visual field.

HOW MUCH CAN I GET FOR MY HOUSE?

Knowing your home’s current market value helps you plan for the future. Whether you are hoping to upsize, downsize or move to a new area, we can help you by assessing the value of your home in today’s market. It’s free – so call today to find out what your home is worth.

WHERE YOUR DEPOSIT IS HIDING If you are like most people

hoping to buy their first home, sav‐

ing a deposit may seem

difficult, especially as house prices

keep rising. Don't be discour‐

aged. With me and commitment,

it can be done. Here are some ps:

1. Move to a cheaper place to

reduce expenses, or add a

flatmate.

2. Reduce the number of cars

in your family.

3. Cut back on dining out.

4. Take up holidays like camp‐

ing rather than flying some‐

where expensive.

5. Tap into KiwiSaver – a er

three years you may be eligi‐

ble for a first home deposit

subsidy.

GOOD TIMING INCREASES YOUR SALES PRICE

There are big advantages to selling in a hot market

It’s not possible to pick the peak me to sell a home, something known as “ ming the market.” However there are be er mes to sell than others. The rule is “buy low and sell high,” and to do so it’s important to understand the differ‐ences between hot and cold real estate markets.

In a “cold” real estate market you are more likely to have to sell low. This occurs because there are more homes for sale on the market than there are interested buyers. Not all houses sell because there is too much supply for the current demand. House prices tend to fall, and sellers need to drop their price ahead of the trend if they hope to sell at all.

In a “hot” market, as we are seeing now, there are too many buyers for the in‐ventory on the market. With fewer homes than buyers, nearly every home in the area will sell, and quickly at that. This is what we are seeing now, with homes selling in about 32 days, compared to around 60 days in late 2009. A hot market is a seller’s market, and so condi ons are excellent for vendors. Here are a few of the advantages of selling now:

Higher house prices: There are lots of buyers, but not many houses to choose from. Compe on is high and buyers bid up prices.

You can refuse discounts and concessions: Hot markets mean you will not be paying for any buyer’s se lement costs or inspec ons.

Buyers stop reques ng maintenance: They take the home as it is, and if some‐thing needs fixing, it falls on them to do so.

Fewer con ngent offers: In today’s market there are many cash buyers meaning less risk and delays associated with con ngent offers.

INSURANCE REVIEWS

RECOMMENDED

HOW TO GET THE BEST DEAL

FROM YOUR BANK

Comparing interest rates is easy by

phoning up a few banks, or you can

go to a web site like

www.goodreturns.co.nz, where rates

are compared across numer‐

ous banks. However, bank offers can

vary in many other ways, such as

amount of finance, discounts, and

cash incen ves.

The secret to finding the best possi‐

ble deal is to compare like offers.

First compile all the records

necessary for your applica‐

on, and determine the term and

type of loan you want (fixed or

floa ng). Submit iden cal applica‐

ons to several banks and compare

the offers.

To save me, you can work with a

loan broker, who can help you com‐

pare your op ons quickly.

AUTUMN MAINTENANCE

CHECKLIST

Clean gu ers and down‐spouts.

Trim overhanging branches and rake leaves.

Replace faulty seals around doors and windows to reduce draughts.

Clean the chimney.

Have gas hea ng systems professionally serviced.

It is a good me to review your property insurance due to changes in coverage brought about by a string of dis‐asters around the world.

Property owners are being advised to review their insurance policies this year as prices are rising even as coverage levels are being reduced. Come renewal me, many property owners will find that their insurer will no longer offer the full cost of rebuilding the property if it is destroyed by a disaster in the future. The insurance industry is moving this year to “fixed cover” policies, which means that a property is covered at a pre‐determined value, rather than the full cost to rebuild. The insured value will likely be restricted to a property’s government valua on, unless the property owner requests a higher amount.

Consumer New Zealand is warning property owners to be careful about what value their policies are fixed at, as it almost always costs more to rebuild a house than its current value.

The change to fixed cover is a fall‐out from a bad year for the interna onal re‐insurers, who had heavy payouts following the Christchurch earthquakes, Japa‐nese tsunami and floods in Australia. These costs are being passed on to local insurers, who are in turn trying to reduce their risks and recover costs from con‐sumers. This makes it very important to review your policy this year and perhaps shop around for the best offer.
