Gold medal for WAproperty manager

WA property manager Kathryn Massey fromMichael Johnson & Co Professionals in MountLawley has taken out the top Australianaward for Residential Property Manager ofthe Year.

Kathryn received the prize last week inAdelaide at the Real Estate Institute ofAustralia’s annual awards and dinner.

In accepting her award, Kathryn saidmanaging a tenancy was more than justlooking after a property.

“It’s about managing the businessrelationship between all parties to ensurepositive outcomes, with the objective tocreate successful tenancies,” she said.

Kathryn said that while the ResidentialTenancies Act provided a clear set ofguidelines in maintaining a fair and equitablerelationship between the parties, how theproperty manager conveyed these rights andobligations was paramount to success.

In her submission, Kathryn detailed howshe had implemented an all-inclusive

‘Premium Fee Package’for clients as well asdeveloping an OwnerHandbook which isregularly updated forthem.

“These things havebeen appreciated by ourcustomers, are

successful for the company and help todifferentiate us from our competitors,” shesaid.

Ian Cornell, licensee of Michael Johnson &Co Professionals, said he was thrilled thatKathryn had won, but wasn’t surprised givenher talent and dedication.

“Katherine excels in propertymanagement because of the caring nature shedemonstrates to both owners and tenants –she fully deserved this award,” he said.

Kathryn Massey is the first WestAustralian to win an REIA award over the fiveyears the competition has been running. ■

Open market best wayto get top selling price

REALMARK director JohnPercudani (right) says puttingproperties on the open market givessellers peace of mind.

While some western suburbs realestate agents prefer to sell homesthrough ‘silent listings’, which involvesgiving keen buyers in their owndatabases a sneak peak at propertiesbefore they officially hit the market,Mr Percudani believes this can costsellers money by narrowing the poolof potential buyers.

“In today’s market, you want touncover any serious interest straightaway,” he said.

“We aim to uncover maximuminterest, generating as muchcompetition as possible.

“The best results stem fromcompetition, when more than onebuyer is trying to secure the property.

“What thisdoes is gives theseller a clear ideaof what themarket is willingto pay and theyare not left indoubt wonderingif they sold at the correct price.”

Mr Percudani said as stock levelscontinued to fall in WA, prices wouldcontinue upwards and in most cases,properties were going to attract a lotof buyer interest.

“In the current market conditions,sellers do not need to worry aboutselling their homes because demand isoutweighing stock levels; what theydo need to worry about isunderselling their home – theirstrategy needs to be about getting thebest result,” he said. ■

Silent listings can cost sellers money by narrowingpool of potential buyers and reducing thecompetition of an open listing. By JANE EVANS

WHEN that devastating storm blew intoPerth last month, it pelted the city with hailthe size of golf balls, causing widespreaddamage to properties and vehicles.

Although it appears to make sense to getthe remedial works done as soon as possible,homeowners need to be aware of existinglegislation governing what may and may notbe done as emergency repairs without havingto obtain approvals from their local councils.

In general, almost all structural work mayrequire a building licence before any workscan be commenced.

Furthermore, any work valued over$20,000 would require owners to engage aregistered builder or obtain an Owner BuilderCertificate from the Builders’ RegistrationBoard before carrying out any building works.

In times of a natural disaster, such as therecent freak storm, building surveyorsemployed in local government or in privatepractice play a pivotal role in the recoveryprocess.

They are responsible for ensuring thatbuilding works which are being carried outcomply with the minimum performance

requirements of the Building Code ofAustralia (BCA).

In Western Australia, the fundamentalfunction of a building surveyor is to certifyplans and structures in accordance withbuilding legislation, and to issue Certificates ofClassification for commercial buildings.

Building surveyors employed in localgovernment are also responsible for issuingpermits to commence construction.

Building surveyors are the arbitrators ofthe Building Code of Australia.

Due to their extensive knowledge of thebuilding regulations, technical codes andstandards and other related legislation,building surveyors are often approached byallied professions like architects, engineers

and builders for advice to ensure thatbuildings are safe, accessible and energyefficient for the health and safety of peopleoccupying the buildings.

Accredited by the Building Commission ofWestern Australia and the Australian Instituteof Building Surveyors, building surveyors arean invaluable source of information forowners intending to carry out repairs orbrand new building works on their properties.

By seeking advice from accredited buildingsurveyors, property owners can avoid theembarrassment of being prosecuted by theirlocal council for unauthorised works, whichcan lead to a lengthy and costly legal exercise.

Even emergency repairs after last week’s storm may needcouncil approval or a building licence. By JUSTINA EU

Pretty as a picture after makeoverTHE owners of this Subiaco characterhome have just finished its refurbishment,and they have done a fabulous job.

Set behind a picket fence, the charminggrey and white exterior features a returntimber verandah on which to sit andenjoy a morning cup of coffee andpossibly a pastry, with Jean ClaudePatisserie just around the corner.

Black Japan stain has been used onthe timber floors inside to give a glossyblack finish, which provides a perfectcontrast to the crisp white walls of theinterior.

A long hallway that connects the entryto the rear of the home features fourstylish light pendants.

The rear addition has an open-plankitchen, lounge and dining area withfrench doors out to a timber deck and

steps down to the lawn area.The kitchen, which has been finished in

a vivid black high gloss, has a glasssplashback, Asko dishwasher, importedstainless steel appliances, Caesar Stone

bench tops and a spacious island benchwith soft-closing drawers.

Each of the three bedrooms has easyaccess to a bathroom.

The main bedroom, at the front of theproperty, has white plantation shutterson its big windows, a beautiful ornatefireplace and mirrored panels on old-fashioned built-in robes.

The bathrooms have been fitted outbeautifully with top-quality tapware,Italian stone basins, Italian marble tilesand walnut-finished vanities withmatching mirrors.

They also have heated towel rails. A study alcove off the entry would also

make an ideal reading area. Combining the old with the new,

this stylish home is as pretty as apicture. ■

There’s lots brewing along Mounts Bay Road

STRETCHING from Riverside Drive toStirling Highway, Mounts Bay Road runsalongside the sparkling waters of the city’sSwan River and forms the southern and south-eastern boundary for Kings Park.

Named after Mounts Bay, the body of waterin the Swan River Estuary that was infilled forthe construction of the Narrows Interchange,the road is home to the historical OldBrewery.

The original Swan Brewery was establishedin 1877 by a partnership between JohnMaxwell Ferguson, a Scottish sea trader andcaptain, and William Mumme, a brewer withGerman and colonial brewing experience.

The Swan Brewery Co sold it in 1979 forredevelopment, and today it’s a prominentbuilding on the river, rich with history andpanoramic river views.

The venue was re-opened in October 2001,and features luxury residential apartments,offices, café-restaurant and a function venue.

Combining history with relaxed andcontemporary dining, The Old Breweryrestaurant is one of Perth’s premiersteakhouses.

Enjoy Perth’s finest cuts of meat, including

the impressive 1.5kg Tomahawk rib eye steak,shared between two and hand-carved right atyour table.

Brewing has also recommenced at the on-site micro-brewery, so find your table in thesun, mere metres from the river, and savourone of their boutique beers.

The Old Brewery also features the ThomasHardwick Function Room, which paystribute to the original brew master and isthe perfect spot for any occasion.

With its breathtaking views of the cityskyline and modern fixtures and fittings, it isthe ideal room in which to host weddings,corporate events, seminars, presentations,cocktail functions and special events.

Captivated by its beauty, it was actuallyalong the banks of the Old Brewery that myhusband proposed, and in February this yearwe held our wedding reception here.
