Q: What is no price marketing?

A: No price marketing is a tool to discretely identify a price a vendor will accept, without prejudicing a sale now or in the future. The common method is Auction, however there is also Sale by Tender or our own “Fast Track Sale”. The marketing of property without price is usually3- 6 weeks depending upon the method. After this period a price is then advertised.

Q: How can you sell something without a price?

A commonly asked question! Look at the psychology of a sale. Most vendors put a higher price on the property than they would accept, knowing they will negotiate down. Buyers shop for property below their budget to allow room to increase to their actual (often undisclosed) budget. This traditional way can mean many months to sell a property as sellers slowly reduce and purchasers raise their price. Problem is, buyers that were interested when property first listed, have oftentimes purchased elsewhere by the time the vendor brings a price to meet the market. The “No Price Marketing” method captures buyers quickly and allows the vendor to meet the market faster. If vendor is not happy with what appears to be market value, he can simply withdraw from sale without his bottom price ever being revealed, ready to sell again at another time.

Auctions have gained a bad reputation in the past and it’s a misconception that they cost $$$, which is due to agents recommending expensive campaigns. As internet now plays a larger role in marketing, print advertising is becoming less used.

Auctions work because of the no price marketing principle.

We at Higgins Real Estate Lismore have sold many properties using ‘No Price Marketing” so please call our successful & friendly team to discuss the advantages to yourself.

Buying using the “cooling off period”

It is not widely used in the Northern Rivers but the purchaser of a residential property has the legal right to exchange contracts on a purchase and then, within 5 business days, change their mind and rescind the contract. As usual there are positives and negatives involved.

The positives:

It enables a purchaser to secure a property immediately which in the current buoyant property market is often difficult to achieve as the scarcity of stock means more purchasers are competing for fewer properties. The next 5 business days can be used to ensure that suitable finance is obtained, building and pest reports are arranged and that the purchaser does not suffer “buyer’s remorse”. The purchaser has not wasted time and money obtaining these reports prior to exchanging contracts only to be “gazumped”.

Contracts can actually be exchanged by the parties at any time so the deal can be struck immediately upon acceptance of the offer.

The negatives:

This right comes at a cost to the purchaser of .25% of the sale price so on a $500,000.00 purchase the purchaser will forfeit $1,250.00 should they change their mind.

Vendors are traditionally reluctant to effectively allow a purchaser 5 days to change their mind and generally require that the cooling off period be waived (which is allowed pursuant to the very Act that grants the right).

It assumes that the information provided to the purchaser by the agent is correct and that the contract utilised by the parties complies with the provisions of the Conveyancing Act. This puts a much greater onus on the estate agent to ensure everything is up to date.

Is it a good idea? There are mixed opinions on what is preferred with Estate Agents often having a different opinion than Lawyers. If the parties are well informed and well advised and have sought legal advice prior to entering into the Contract then it can be advantageous to both parties but as always it is vital to obtain that legal advice before signing anything. For that, and any of your other legal needs, come and talk to Adam Gibbs at S+P Lawyers Ballina.

Adam Gibbs - Director

Do you have an income producing property commonly known as an investment property? Then a Tax Depreciation Schedule completed by an Australian Tax Office (ATO) registered Quantity Surveyor is an essential tool to enhance your after tax benefits/returns.

1. What is a Tax Depreciation Schedule?

A Tax Depreciation Schedule ensures you are maximising deductions on any investment property. As a building ages, it depreciates in value. The ATO allows property owners to claim a deduction on the building as well as fixtures and fittings within the building. Claiming depreciation is a significant taxation benefit and some investors are unaware of their eligibility. The schedule can be used for future tax compliance up to a maximum life of the property which the ATO determines to be 40 years from original construction or renovation.

2. What can I claim? There are two streams of depreciable

items available.

Capital Works Allowance is the deduction available for the structural element of a building, such as built in kitchen cupboards, fences, retaining walls, sinks, basins, baths and garages. You can claim the original construction costs (conditions on construction date apply) and any renovations after February 1992.

Plant and Equipment depreciate at a faster rate than the building. Each item has an effective life set by the ATO. Items include hot water services, dishwashers, carpet, blinds, ovens, cook tops, air-conditioners and other items commonly found in an investment property.

3. Can I still make a claim, even though I haven’t claimed before?

A Tax Depreciation Schedule can be back dated a couple of years and your Accountant can apply for an adjustment on your recent tax returns. However, you can only claim depreciation on an investment property for the periods when the property was available for rent.

Q: I’m thinking of refinancing my home loan, what do I need to know?

A: Mortgages are the biggest expense most of us will ever have – this also means they can be an area of significant savings. With interest rates at record lows, it’s a great time to ensure you’ve got the right home loan in place. Would you would be better off with a fixed or variable loan; what specific features do you want and need in your home loan; what fees and charges are you paying; and what level of access, services and support do you want from your bank? A bank manager or financial advisor can discuss these issues with you and help you choose the right loan for your specific circumstances.

Q: What should small businesses do to prepare to for the financial year end?

A: With a month to go until June 30, now is the time for small business owners to consider maximising their tax benefits for this year and the year ahead. Get your paperwork in order; set a self-imposed deadline by making an appointment with your accountant; consider the implications of making business purchases, paying bills and deferring income this financial year as opposed to next year; and check www.ato.gov.au to see if you’re entitled to any small business tax concessions. Finally, start planning for the coming financial year.

Q: How is BOQ different to the big banks?

A: I own my own bank branch so, as a small business owner and home owner, I genuinely understand the needs of my customers. And, as a member of the local community,

I know each of my customers and offer a level of personalised customer service that the big banks can’t match.
