Cottesloe booming on strong demandONE of the prime real estate markets in Perth has surgedforward over the past two months.
Caporn Young senior sales executive Peter Clementssaid property values were now beginning to exceed the peakof the last property boom in this premium real estate marketduring 2006/2007, and this was particularly evident inCottesloe.
Mr Clements has just sold three townhouses in PrincesStreet in Cottesloe to separate buyers for a collective priceof $5.365 million.
These properties had been listed for a total price of $4.8million.
In June 2009, Mr Clements achieved a record selling priceper square metre of $15,208 for a renovated 1950s studioapartment in Eric Street, Cottesloe.
“This impeccable apartment was purchased by an astutebuyer who wanted to secure this property before pricesbegin to rise,’’ he said.
“As the selling agent for both properties, I have noticedsignificant change in the Cottesloe real estate market sincethe end of 2009.
“Buyers who were once hesitant are now more anxiousabout securing a property in the area and that is why Ireceived numerous offers on the townhouses in PrincesStreet.
“Cottesloe was one of the prime real estate marketswhich was hit hard by the world financial crisis, but over thelast few months the Cottesloe market has regained thesevalues and new benchmarks in property values are nowbeing set every week.
“Buyers understand that based on historical trends,
Cottesloe property prices will rebound strongly after a
downturn and this is now the case.”
Cottesloe is one of the most sought-after suburbs to live
in Perth and property values perform very strongly when
confidence in the real estate market begins to rise.
Mr Clements said buyers were now anxious not to be
locked out of the market and that was why there was a very
high demand for correctly priced properties in Cottesloe.
“Based on current trends, property price growth rates in
Cottesloe will continue to move well ahead of the overall
Perth market during the coming year, with current buyers
locking in strong capital gains moving forward,” he said. ■
Buyers anxious to secure a property in this sought-after area are setting new price benchmarks. By CARMELLE SANDER

REVIEWSMosman masterpiece
KITCHEN of the Year, Bathroom of theYear and a finalist in Display Home of the Year– the accolades and awards given to thisresidence are most deserving.
It is simply stunning. A Buildwise masterpiece completed in
November 2007, every conceivable luxury hasbeen incorporated over three levels ofsublime living space.
The senses are immediately soothed by thewater feature lined entry, before passingthrough a magnificent pivot entry door intothe interior.
German Jura marble flooring flowsthroughout the ground level, where a kitchenfitted with top of the range Gaggenauequipment looks over the dining area, thefront balcony and the river views beyond it.
The nearby scullery hides more of thenecessary kitchen equipment, including a winefridge, and features the same solid timber andglass cabinetry as the kitchen.
In fact, similar teak and cedar cabinetry hasbeen used throughout all living spaces,bedrooms and bathrooms, with the uniformitycreating a feeling of utmost elegance.
Still on ground level, a more formal loungeroom leads out to the central terrace wherealfresco dining by the plunge pool is the orderof the day.
Also on ground level are a home theatre, aguest bedroom with an ensuite bathroom,powder room and laundry.
On the third level and enjoying the best ofthe City and Swan River views, is the parents’retreat and master suite.
A custom-built timber desk and bookcasesallow the retreat to double as a library or
office and this elegant room opens to a tiledbalcony that is also accessed from thebedroom. His-and-hers walk-in robes lead toa luxurious ensuite bathroom with a deep,floating bathtub and only the best in tap wareand fittings.
Two bedrooms towards the rear of thehome share another stunning bathroom and athird living area.
On the lower ground level is a four-cargarage, large storeroom, climate controlledcellar and a lift to whisk you and the shoppingto the interior of the home. ■

Q: I am trying to decidewhether to sell my house inClaremont now or rent itout for another year andsell it when the market hasimproved. What’s youradvice?
A: The market at the momentis actually in very good shape,especially from a seller’s pointof view.
There are lots of buyersaround (including investors),there’s a shortage of propertiesfor sale, and the prices havebounced back nicely.
Prices are predicted to climbsteadily from here.
But once they do, there willbe more properties on themarket competing for theready buyers.
So both options have theirpros and cons.
If you have to buy anotherproperty though, you may aswell sell now.
Q: A property I’minterested in buying is on asurvey strata – how is thisdifferent to a strata?
A: Survey strata is different tostrata in a few significant ways.It is not as restrictive in itsbuilding requirements, and itmay or may not have commonproperty (areas that are sharedby all or a number of owners).
With a strata property, if youwant to make external changesor extend the property in anyway, you require the approvalof the other lot owners.
With a survey strataproperty, this is generally notrequired (except in somecircumstances).
Simply put, a survey stratagives you more freedom overhow your property looks andwhat you can do with it.
Q: I want to buy a block ofland to build on. I’m havingtrouble evaluating eachblock I see and comparing
it with the others. Apartfrom size and shape, whatother factors should I beconsidering?
A: There are a number ofthings you should considerwhen purchasing a block.
First and foremost is thezoning of the land because thiswill determine what type ofhome you can build, andwhether you can subdivide thelot.
I would also advise you toget a quote from an earth-moving contractor for any siteworks that may be necessarybefore construction can begin.
For example, if the block isnot level or retaining walls arenecessary, this can get veryexpensive.
If you’re a lover of niceviews, the elevation of the lot isanother thing to consider.
If you want to have gasappliances in your new home,you should check with Synergythat there will not be problems(and extraordinary costs) withrunning gas into the property.
Think about the street noisearound the block, major publictransport routes and anypossible odour problems fromsurrounding businesses.
And finally, as in thepurchase of any title, check foreasements or any otherrestrictive covenants orconditions before making yourpurchase.

Style with sustainability CARBON footprints, sustainability, ethical production, lifecycle analysis, embodied energy, extended producerresponsibility, cradle-to-cradle design – it’s enough to put youoff shopping.
Fortunately, these environmental concepts andconsiderations are the focus of a new retail outlet in EastFremantle where shopping isn’t a dirty word and living aninspiring life while reducing your carbon footprint is a realpossibility.
Concept78, in very hip George Street, stocks an eclecticrange of homewares, furniture, fabrics, toys, candles andkitchen utensils that have been chosen for both their cutting-edge design and ethical and environmental implications.
Owner Peter Galloway spent many years as anenvironmental scientist in the mining sector before becomingdisillusioned with the big corporation attitude to theenvironment.
“I became very frustrated by the slowness of change anddecided I may as well start changing people’s buying habits asa first step towards sustainability,” he said.
Mr Galloway admits that converting to a sustainablelifestyle isn’t easy, despite the fact we are bombarded withinformation about the need to be “eco-friendly” and toreduce our carbon footprint.
“It’s very hard to change your life and the way you live iteven if you want to. It’s hard to find the time or the money orthe motivation, and many people choose not to changebecause they don’t really have to.”
Concept78 is committed to protecting the environmentand encourages like-minded people to take small steps, suchas being aware of the life cycle of a product.
“It's important to look at what the product is made from,where it came from, right through to how you can dispose ofit,” Mr Galloway said.
“For example, when a product reaches the end of itsusefulness, we encourage people to consider alternatives todisposal such as recycling, repairing and reusing.”
This way of thinking is also known as the cradle-to-cradleapproach as opposed to cradle-to-grave, which sees productsdumped in landfill at the end of their life.
Instead, materials are perpetually circulated in closedloops, maximising their value and minimising the impact onecosystems.
At Concept78, the environmental impact of a product isthe first consideration, but Mr Galloway is also passionate
about design and the important role of environmental design,whether it be a handbag or a building.
Before becoming an environmental scientist, Mr Gallowaystudied interior design and his combined passion for bothdesign and the environment is fully incorporated intoConcept78.
Originally from Glasgow, Mr Galloway and his wife Anitaresearched the idea of a green outlet for over a year,travelling to Europe, reading up on eco-design and sourcingcutting-edge products through the internet.
Mr Galloway's love of design is more than evident inConcept78.
There are funky bags made from old skateboards, walletsmade from yacht sails and jewellery made from all sorts of bitsand pieces.
There’s also gorgeous organic cotton bedding and towels,and a fabulous range of soft furnishing fabrics from Cloth, aSydney textile company that has a low-impact approach tomanufacturing and materials.
One very sound range of products stocked by Concept 78
is from Bambu, a company totally committed to sustainablepractices. The range includes fabulous serving bowls, traysand utensils all made from sustainable bamboo or cork.
Bholu is another gorgeous collection of rugs, cushions,lampshades and soft toys that does more good than harm.
Each Bholu piece is hand-woven or embroidered bytraditional artisans from India and part proceeds from thecollection go back to the Bholu Anganwadi Project, which hasso far built eight pre-schools in underprivileged Indiancommunities.
It's well worth a visit to Concept 78 to be inspired by MrGalloway's belief that living a sustainable lifestyle is not aboutdeprivation but awareness.
